Former deputy independent counsel Sol Wisenberg ripped the ruling in
former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case as “extremely dubious”
on Friday.

Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York filed a lawsuit
against Trump in September 2022, alleging he overstated the value of
real estate holdings. Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling ordered Trump to pay
more than $350 million and banned him from being an officer or director
for any New York company or organization for three years. (RELATED: ‘A

“I certainly don’t see how the part of the decision that imposes a $355
million judgment is supported by the evidence, because as the judge
points out in the very first paragraph of his opinion, and as you
pointed out, there’s no loss from the bank,” Wisenberg told “Ingraham
Angle” guest host Jeanine Pirro. “The loans were repaid. Now, certainly
you can legally engage in fraud of all kinds each if the victim doesn’t
lose money, but to impose a penalty of $355 million and to bar him for
three years and his sons for two years seems to me to be completely out
of proportion to the actual loss here, which was zilch.”

“I have a question for everybody, which is where were all of these
people during the 35 years before Donald Trump became an announced
candidate for president?” Wisenberg asked. “Why weren’t these people
investigating this alleged fraud? People, if there is fraud going on,
the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, the
district attorney’s office in Manhattan, it doesn’t seem like they were
doing their job at all, it appears there was no effort whatsoever to
even look at former President Trump until he became a controversial
political figure.”

James promised to investigate Trump’s finances during her 2018 campaign
for attorney general.

“It strikes me to be constitutionally extremely dubious to basically
impose $355 million judgment in a case where there is no loss,”
Wisenberg said. “That is just mind boggling to me. I have never seen a
case where that happened.”
