The results will either buttress Trump's claims of massive wealth or expose him as a poseur. The biggest potential judgment comes in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The court has already determined that Trump committed fraud by securing loans through false financial statements – including inflating the value of his properties. The fraud case is more complicated, experts say, since there was no clear victim identified. Judge Arthur Engoron, who will deliver the judgment on financial damages as well as the fate of Trump's businesses in New York, hasn't been sympathetic to the idea that Trump's fraud caused no harm.

Legal experts told Insider that some of them might flip on Trump and cooperate with the prosecution. "It's not surprising to see unindicted co-conspirators," Anna Cominsky, an associate professor of law and the director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at New York Law School, told Insider. She said that some unindicted co-conspirators will never be charged "for whatever reason, perhaps there they're not known. "The other reason why those individuals may not be charged is because they're cooperating," Cominsky said. "There are all kinds of reasons to do that," Tobias told Insider.

"I think this is very winnable, but it's not the slam dunk that the documents case is," Neama Rahmani, President of West Coast Trial Lawyers and a former federal prosecutor, said, referring to one of Trump's other federal indictments. Trump's January 6 trial is likely to be more reliant on witness testimony than his classified documents case. In that case, prosecutors have surveillance footage, phone records, and even an audio recording of Trump discussing the classified documents in question to help bolster their case.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Two men have been indicted in Ohio on criminal charges after being accused of cheating last month during a Lake Erie fishing tournament by placing weights in walleyes in a scheme to win prize money of more than $28,000 for landing the heaviest fish. A Cuyahoga County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Jacob Runyan, 42, and Chase Cominsky, 35, on felony cheating, attempted grand theft and possessing criminal tools charges. On Sept. 30, they competed in the Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament in Cleveland. Participants from several surrounding states competed in the tournament to see which team could catch five of the heaviest walleye fish in Lake Erie. The two men were immediately disqualified and instructed to leave the tournament, the prosecutor said.

Two fishermen captured in a viral video appearing to scam an Ohio fishing tournament were on the hook for multiple crimes, including cheating, authorities said in announcing their indictments Wednesday. Two fishermen were found to have weighed down their fish with lead weights in order to win a tournament in Cleveland. @walleyemafia1 via TikTokThe criminal tools charge stemmed from the pair allegedly using Cominsky’s boat during the competition, the release said. A scandal over the alleged crimes erupted Sept. 30, when a video showed a crowd gathering around the competition's proclaimed winners, Runyan and Cominsky. Ten weights were found inside the fish, with eight of them weighing 12 ounces and two weighing 8 ounces.

Încă nu s-a stabilit ce a dus la acest dezastru, dar un raport din 2018 indica erori grave la structura imobilului, fără a semnala însă că ar fi un risc iminent de prăbușire. Un raport din 2018 privind starea clădirii, făcut public sâmbătă, a evidențiat o eroare majoră la structura clădirii cu 12 etaje, care a împiedicat scurgerea apei de la baza imobilului. Atunci, inginerul Frank Morabito semnala "pagube structurale majore" la platforma de beton de sub puntea piscinei și la crăpăturile din grinzi și pereți.
