As I (and many others) predicted, once Trump's presidency ended he is now being thrown lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit in a 100% transparent attempt at trying to stop him from running for president again. (And then it's the leftists who are accusing their opposition of "election interfering"...)
Among the dozen or so of them, perhaps the most ridiculous one is by the New York attorney general Letitia James. She's trying to sue Trump for some obscure "crime" of overvaluing some of his land property in New York.
The lawsuit is ridiculous in many respects. For starters, as many, many legal experts and political commentators have pointed out, Trump hasn't actually overvalued anything. What James is doing is undervaluing those properties, by using some contrived artificial system, and then trying to claim that Trump is deliberately overvaluing them.
But do you know what's even more ridiculous (and transparent) about this particular lawsuit?
Trump's legal team tried to find out if this really obscure law has ever been used to prosecute anybody during the entire history of its existence. Turns out that no. Turns out that Donald Trump is literally the first person who has ever been prosecuted using this obscure law.
It couldn't be a clearer case of a far-leftist prosecutor trying to find even the most obscure law that exists out there that she could pin on Trump, in order to throw a SLAPP lawsuit at him. This is a law that pretty much nobody knew even existed, and has never been used to prosecute anybody.
And, on top of that, it's extremely clear that Trump didn't actually break that law anyway, knowingly or unknowingly.
In theory there exist protections against SLAPP suits in the United States, ie. against people trying to harass, damage or hinder other people by throwing frivolous lawsuits at them. Make a guess whether this protection will be applied in Trump's case.
