Lawrence O’Donnell Exposes Trump's Destructive Word in Defense

During a recent broadcast, Lawrence O’Donnell revealed the one-word response that Donald Trump provided during a deposition that O’Donnell believes "destroyed" any defense they may have had. O’Donnell criticized Trump's lawyers for their inability to properly prepare him, stating that it was evident from Trump's answer that he incriminated himself and his children. The question asked was regarding who in the Trump Organization was responsible for preventing and detecting fraud, to which Trump simply replied, "Everybody." According to O’Donnell, this statement has severely weakened their case.

In response to the inquiry, Trump stated that "everybody" was responsible for preventing and detecting fraud at the Trump Organization. This single-word response, as highlighted by O’Donnell, has effectively eliminated any defense for Trump and his co-defendants, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. O’Donnell argues that it is difficult to come up with a stupider answer than that.

O’Donnell mentioned that Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled that Trump engaged in fraud for an extended period of time. The focus now shifts to the potential penalty they may face, which could reach up to £203 million ($250 million). The goal for Trump as a witness should have been to shift blame away from himself and his sons onto the accountants in order to potentially reduce the penalty. However, his careless response only served to further implicate himself and his children.
