Jeffery Toobin is back, and he floats the idea that the America ex-President will be forced to obtain the money he needs for his civil judgement’s from foreign sources, which could encourage him to pay back the favors to other countries against American interests….
Hmmmm?
Former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin said Wednesday he is concerned former President Trump could try to seek out foreign sources to pay the massive legal fees that are putting a strain on his finances.
In a discussion on CNN, Toobin said he expects Trump to have difficulty finding any banks that would loan him money, citing his strained history with Deutsche Bank.
Prosecutors in Trump’s recent civil fraud case in New York argued that the bank lost out on almost $170 million in interest because of the former president’s false valuations of assets. Trump’s team has argued, however, that the money was all repaid.
“I think the most interesting question about that is, what if he goes to foreign sources? What if he goes to Azerbaijan? He has a lot of business overseas. What if he goes to Russia?” Toobin said. “What if he goes and gets hundreds of millions of dollars from overseas?”
“What does that mean if a candidate for president is is on the hook for multiple, multiple millions of dollars to a foreign source? Because that, it seems to me, is the most likely source,” he continued. “Banks, at this point, don’t want anything to do with him. Deutsche Bank has lived a nightmare for decades now because they’ve been associated with Trump.”
Toobin added, “So I think foreign is his only option. And that raises a very big can of worms.”….
