MSNBC Legal Analyst Neil Katyal told “Deadline” on Wednesday that New York Attorney General Letitia James’ filing a civil lawsuit also represents a “good” criminal case.
Katyal said: “On page two, the attorney general highlighted a list of federal crimes he believes to be potentially blasphemous. And in this case, all the reports of our friends in this program were collected and then all the evidence from the accountants, evidence from the CFO, etc. and it was incredible. This case, unlike many other investigations Trump has faced, is based on a large number of documents.
He continued: “This New York case is a civil case, so the standard of evidence is lower, but the other part about it is that Donald Trump and his family have passed the Fifth Amendment hundreds of times into the New Law. York Attorney. General investigation In a criminal case, the Fifth Amendment because of our privilege not to testify against ourselves, you cannot draw any conclusions when someone passes the Fifth Amendment, but you can in a civil lawsuit.”
Katyal added: “So if you’re a prosecutor, you might want to start this civil case first and then the criminal case and give permission. From what I saw in the complaint, it seems like a good criminal case so far.”
