John Dean: Can Trump survive the lawsuits against him?
Four presidents have been forced to deal with civil lawsuits which they carried into the Oval Office: Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy and Bill Clinton.
Clinton vs. Jones went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which unanimously (9-0) held in May 1997 that a sitting president has no immunity from civil litigation involving actions undertaken before entering office.
Finally, Trump has a solid reputation as a liar. For example, The Washington Post ran a story during the campaign about how in a 2007 lawsuit deposition he was caught in some 30 lies. Also during the campaign, Newsweek reported on his lie after lie after lie. Trump clearly outpaced his opponents during the campaign with his untruthfulness. But lying as president-elect or president is playing in a very different league.
---------------------------------------------
Trump didn't pay at venues where he held his rallies. He even stiffed these little girls and they have filed a lawsuit against him.
I suspect there will be a lot of lawsuits filed before his inauguration during the month of January.
Can you imagine how many times we will get to see him in court? Do you think he will pay off all of them like he did with the 25 million Trump U? Guess we'll see.
