Andrew Cuomo Makes Shocking Statement About Trump’s ‘Hush Money’ Case

The case against former President Donald Trump, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, was so ridiculous that even people who are not fans of the former president are shredding it.

Former New York Governor and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo appeared on the HBO show “Real Time” hosted by Bill Maher where he took apart the case against the former president that resulted in a fine in excess of $450 million.

“The Attorney General’s case in New York, frankly, should have never been brought and if his name was not Donald Trump, and he if he wasn’t running for president, I’m the former AG in New York, I’m telling you that case would have never been brought, and that’s what is offensive to people,” he said to a panel that included Maher and former Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger during the show’s “Overtime” segment.

The host said he believed the same thing about the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

“I was always with you on the one in New York, the hush money trial,”. He said to the former governor. “I don’t think they should have brought that one. It was just always going to look like a sex case and people were always just going to look at it that way.”

And when it comes to the Letitia James case there are more issues at play.

Alina Habba, one of the attorneys for former President Donald Trump, has issued an ultimatum to the judge who ruled in the fraud case in NY brought by Attorney General Letitia James.

She has called on Judge Engoron to recuse himself from the case immediately, telling Fox News that they can no longer wait for the Office of Attorney Ethics to take action.

The former president’s attorneys have said that he needs to be off the case because of an alleged “appearance of impropriety” after he received advice on the case from New York real estate attorney Adam Leitman Bailey as the trial was going on.

“I just want to be really clear for the listeners on what happened here. This attorney Mr Bailey went on TV bragging about the fact he had spoken with the judge that was sitting on our case, Judge Engoron. The judge had not issued his final decision on this case and this attorney who has sued Trump more than six times has now gone up to a judge sitting on an active case and spoken to him about the case. That is not allowed,” she said to Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“He never notified the parties, not allowed. This goes way beyond anything else we already know and it gave us another reason to say yet again ‘you need to step down, you need to take robe, you’re code of judicial conduct, seriously,” the attorney said.

She said that it is being investigated by the Office of Attorney Ethics but they “cannot wait here any longer for these judges to sit here and make the right decision.”

She said of the verdict that “if this was influenced, if we do find out about it, absolutely there are grounds to vacate the decision for a reversal.”
