"Adverse inference."

[berg80]

In civil litigation in federal court, a witness's invocation of the Fifth Amendment may give rise to an adverse inference “when independent evidence exists of the fact to which the party refuses to answer.”

That's why the Orange Fraud says he will testify in the NY fraud case. If he pleads the 5th the judge has the discretion to consider the evidence presented by the plaintiff as unchallenged.

Of course with Don's propensity for lying he runs the risk of perjuring himself. Or being held in contempt if he decides to insult the judge. Seems like a lose, lose.

A bullshit prosecution is still a bullshit prosecution.
Latitia ran on "getting Trump" and she is abusing the Legal System to get Trump on bullshit charges.
I hope all businesses bail on NY.

New York AG demands evidence review after top Trump exec is accused of lying in fraud trial

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office suggested Thursday that the Trump Organization failed to produce evidence in the $250 million fraud trial of Donald Trump and his company, citing a recent report accusing a key witness of lying under oath.

The AG’s office said in a letter that it has “identified likely omissions” in documents produced by the defendants related to 2016 exchanges with Forbes Magazine about the value of Trump’s real estate assets.

That alleged failure “indicates a breakdown somewhere in the process,” an official from that office warned the judge who will deliver verdicts in the ongoing civil trial.

It is “also suggestive of potentially broader issues in the production process,” wrote the official, senior enforcement counsel Kevin Wallace, in the letter to Judge Arthur Engoron.

More proof of this being a clown show persecution. Every 'claim' is prefaced with 'likely', suggestive, indicates, blah, blah, blah. What an utter disgrace. NYC should be embarrassed and ashamed.
