Trump Rails Against New York Fraud Ruling As He Faces Fines That Could Exceed Half-A-Billion Dollars

Donald Trumps legal debts might now exceed a half-billion dollars.
The MSNBC host does the math to show how the former president could be heading for financial "collapse."
The former president came face-to-face with the state attorney general who is suing him when he sat for a deposition last year at her Manhattan office.

A final ruling is expected in the civil fraud case in January, where a judge has already found that Trump has engaged in financial fraud for decades.
Judge Arthur Engoron criticized one of Trump's expert witnesses, saying that for a million or so dollars, "some experts will say whatever you want them to say."

The former president and 2024 Republican front-runner accused Judge Arthur Engoron of harboring bias against him.
