dropping his adult offspring allows expedition of civil case against trump

[butters]

trump's depositions all point the finger at trump, himself, as the scammer and so the viewers pursuing the civil suit have dropped them from the filings in order to steamline case, which has a date set for January.

Donald Trump will face trial in yet another civil case on an expedited schedule now that his children, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, have been voluntarily dropped from the case after they made it clear their father was the "principle architect" of the conduct called into question.

The lawsuit dates back five years, when viewers of the Apprentice sued Trump, his company, and his kids. According to the lawsuit, they were conned into paying thousands of dollars for desktop videophones that Trump touted as the next big piece of technology. In reality, they were rendered obsolete by smartphones, according to Bloomberg.

"The sworn depositions of the Trump children 'made clear' that the former president 'was the architect, principal actor, and largest beneficiary of the fraudulent scheme,' plaintiffs’ lawyer Roberta Kaplan said in a statement," Bloomberg added. "As part of the agreement, depositions testimony from the three children — who worked closely with their father while his TV show aired — can still be used at trial. The former president and his company, Trump Corp., remain defendants."

Much as one might wish otherwise, it seems to me that there are fundamental weaknesses in the plaintiffs case and these is the most likely reasons for dropping the kids. The most likely outcome is possibly some sort of agreed settlement against the company, sufficient to pay the lawyers fees, but little for the actual plaintiffs and likely no findings against Trump himself. It will not damage Trump politically because his reputation is already in tatters and it will not reduce the MAGA support one iota. So a bit of a nothing burger perhaps. Tho' Trump can always surprise us.
