George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on the recent fraud verdict against former President Donald Trump and made it clear that he was not impressed.
Turley shared his thoughts with Fox News anchor John Roberts, arguing that the $355 million fine imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron was excessive considering there was no measurable financial damage incurred by any of the “victims” — and those “victims,” instead of seeing themselves as such and seeking restitution, had instead sought to do more business with Trump.

Jonathan Turley: “There’s not a single dollar lost by these ‘victims’. In fact, the people that James calls the victims actually wanted to do more business with Donald Trump.
