CNN Legal Analyst Spots Ego-Bruising Possibility For Trump In Fraud Trial Verdict
HuffPost
Norm Eisen mentioned one potential outcome that could hit Trump in a most personal way.
CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen said the verdict in Donald Trump’s fraud trial could ultimately strip his company of perhaps its most cherished asset: the Trump name. (Watch the video below.)
The civil trial, in which the former president and his Trump Organization face severe penalties for overinflating assets to secure better loan terms, concluded Thursday. That prompted CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer to ask Eisen, “What’s the risk right now for the Trump Organization?”
“When all of these trial and appellate proceedings are concluded, it may no longer be called the Trump Organization,” Eisen replied.
The former special counsel to President Barack Obama mentioned financial devastation adding up to a “corporate death penalty” as a possibility as well.
“If it holds up on appeal, this could be the end of the Trump Organization as we have known it for all of these years,” Eisen said.
