Trump hit with SURPRISE, unexpected court loss

you're watching the legal breakdown so

Glenn this one went way under the radar

Donald Trump just lost another court

case walk us through what just happened

yeah Brian just in case anybody thought

Donald Trump only lost trials in the

United States not so he just just lost

one over in the UK so we have to go back

a little bit in time this is a case that

Donald Trump brought mind you it wasn't

he is the plaintiff he's the one who

chose to bring this case that becomes

really important in a minute but this is

a case he brought against if you

remember the steel dossier Christopher

steel he was an

M16 um British officer basically that is

the UK's secret intelligence service

it's a service that basically gathers up

human intelligence from foreign sources

um Donald Trump brought a suit it it's

called a data protection claim think of

it as a defamation suit right he brought

this claim against Christopher Steel's

Consulting business it's called Obi

orbus business um Intel claiming that

there were all these wild tales that

sort of made their way into the Public

Square that were contained in the steel

dossier you know a lot of them had to do

with all these salacious sexual

allegations I'm not going to recount the

substance of them but Donald Trump was

so AG grieved and he suffered such

emotional dist

that he sued Christopher Steel's company

Obi well the judge and the judge's title

is Mrs Justice Stein she just not only

dismissed the case which she actually

did uh some days ago but she just

ordered that Donald Trump should pay all

of the claims all of the costs

associated with the case that he brought

against Christopher Steel's Consulting

business the amount of that it looks

like it's going to be about a 650,000

pounds but he only has to pay half of it

right now the judge over there said you

know we're going to take some time to

fully calculate exactly how much he will

be made to pay but upfront uh the judge

ruled that he should pay about half of

it so he's going to have to pay at this

point about

$300,000 just for openers for bringing

what in essence was a frivolous lawsuit

well obvously that's you know a much

smaller sum than the sums Donald Trump

is now used to getting hit with in

American courtrooms and he has plenty of

uh plenty of experience with that but

with that said do you anticipate that

he'll have any trouble actually paying

this amount of money that he owes you

know I think the reasonable answer to

that question is yes he probably will

what do I base that on well in the cases

that he lost in in the US right he lost

a $5 million judgment in EEG Carol 1 an

$83 million judgment in EEG Carol 2 and

a 450 million half a billion dollar

judgment in his New York fraud case that

was brought by attorney general Tish

James what have we seen his lawyers do

in recent days they're literally

bouncing from courtroom to courtroom

from New York judge to New York judge

hat in hand asking them to please don't

make us put up the full amount so we can

perfect our right to appeal because you

have to basically put up the full amount

in cash and deposit it with the court or

get a bond to cover the full amount and

Donald Trump can do neither with those

two larger judgments the $83 million

judgment and the half a billion dollar

judgment so is he going to have a spare

few $100,000 kicking around so he can

now satisfy this judgment that was

entered against him in the UK maybe

maybe not but uh you know it feels like

Donald Trump any day now is going to hit

a financial wall and then I suspect if

the the law is applied as it's typically

applied to any other litigant who loses

a money judgment and can't perfect his

appeal because doesn't have enough money

to put out to put up um his assets will

begin to be seized by both Tish James

and by EEG Carol's lawyers well it's

worth noting that Trump does have um his

turnburry golf course over there so uh

in the same way that Trump Tower may

very well be seized by tis James here in

the us uh who who knows what can happen

to Trump's golf golf course out there in

uh in the UK um Glenn as far as you know

has Trump actually won any of the

litigation that he's engaged in thus far

and and and I should I should say this

with the caveat that this is uh the guy

who's came who's come forward and and

promised that all of his supporters

would get tired of all the winning you

know he has lost civil suit after civil

suit after civil suit there are more in

the pipeline there was the one that was

brought against him by Capitol police

officers for his launching the attack on

the capital on January 6th that one

there were some charges dismissed other

charges remain viable and they are

moving forward through the discovery

phase don't forget this is not the first

time Donald Trump has been penalized for

essentially bringing a frivolous suit he

he and his lawyers were also uh fined to

the amount of I think a million dollars

in a frivolous lawsuit he brought down

in Florida against Hillary Clinton so

you know Donald Trump's MO is losing and

and at that he

excels well while we're on the topic of

collecting funds the clock has all but

run out on that payment for the EEG

Carol judgment um as of this week Trump

had asked the judge to cut the 83.3

million judgment or to Grant him a new

trial so is he gonna have any luck in

making this thing go away no he's not um

as of I think today or tomorrow the

clock has completely run out now his

lawyers have I think at least twice

asked for extensions to be able to try

to come up with the money so he can

perfect his right to appeal but those

extensions have been denied so you know

I think today or tomorrow it's time to

pay the piper and I will say as of right

now Brian as we're having this

conversation there are no updates that

I've seen published but it could be

literally any minute now or any day now

we're going to hear that if he can't put

up or shut up he is going to start to

have his property seized first by E

Carrol and then he's got another couple

of weeks before you know it's time to

pay the piper in the New York frud case

to the T of a half a billion dollars oh

man all right well last thing here to

that point do you have any updates on

the status of the of his efforts not to

pay that $455 million because last time

we spoke he was doing his best Moroccan

bizaar salesman impression offering uh

the very very good price of 25 cents on

the dollar yeah no the last we heard

concretely was that he offered to put up

a bond not even the full amount but

apparently he duped somebody into

putting up a bond to ensuring that

Donald Trump is good for it uh in the

amount of $100 million which is as you

say it's about 20 cents on the dollar

and you know he thinks he's at a flea

market negotiating with the New York

judge the judge is not going to have any

of it so again I think any day now even

though there's like two more weeks

before the 30 days is up and that comes

due you know any day now we could hear

more coming out of the New York courts

about this you know ongoing ask of

Donald Trump and his lawyers to you know

give him something of a fraud

forgiveness yeah well I'll tell you what

I'll be I'll be among the first people

in New York City to go have lunch at

egene Carol Tower when that becomes the

reality so with that said obviously

we'll stay on top of all of these

judgments that Trump is having more and

more trouble uh figuring out a way to

pay for uh so for those watching right
