  Trump has always tried to delay, obfuscate and deny until the very last moment, at which he settles for full asking. That’s exactly what he did with Trump university and the DC hotel lawsuits. 
  The issues is here; he doesn’t have a $1bn. If he loses, he’s bankrupt. And not, investors are bag holders like NJ tax payers. He’s actually personally bankrupt.
  Shit will get wild as he loses this one. He’ll get desperate and probably try to start a civil war. Seriously watch what happens. This is an existential threat to Trump and if he loses he’ll go doomsday.
context: It's plainly obvious he's trying to hide something. The question is whether that "something" is already at least partially known about, or if it's totally new information. >
  
  They are being sued for what Cohen says will probably be around a billion dollars. So any very slim chance of delay or reducing the scope of the trial is worth them spending a comparatively small amount of money on.
  It did not work. There was no dismissal and there was no change to the trial date. The trial date is still the beginning of October. They offered NO defence in pretrial, this is virtually an admission of guilt, there is too much evidence in black and white. The lawsuit will be successful, just as many have been against Trump companies in the past. 
  The bank fraud aspect should lead to criminal charges but Alvin Bragg who would handle the case seems to be very wary of prosecuting Trump.
