For at least the fifth time, former President Donald Trump on Monday lost an attempt to dismiss his civil fraud case through a maneuver seeking a directed verdict in his favor.

In tossing Trump’s latest challenge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron reminded the former president that “a lie is still a lie.”

    Yeah when you take the Obi Wan stance of, ‘what I told you was true, from a certain point of view’ in court, there should be some repercussions. Like we get there can be different points of view but if 9/10 people say one thing, that 1/10 person’s view probably shouldn’t count when figuring out the truth in court and is basically wasting time. Though I think this is up to the judge to decide so it was mostly a delay and seem like they have some sort of defense for his followers.
