Newsmax: Judge Calls Out Trump's False Statute of Limitations Claim in Fraud Case | Andrew Lieb Analysis

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins Newsmax to break down highlights from a court hearing where Donald Trump made claims about the statute of limitations throwing out 80% of fraud cases against him. Lieb provides an analysis on the judge's statements and how they differ from what Trump said. He explains that while evidence from before 2014 can't be the sole basis of a case, it can still be used if it's tied to ongoing conduct. This ruling leaves Trump in a difficult position as he now has to find a way to overcome an existing summary judgment against him for statutory fraud under Executive Law 63.
