Donald Trump will eventually take a plea deal for either his civil or criminal cases but his ego won't let it occur for many months, a former Justice Department official predicts.. She sued the ex-president, his adult sons and The Trump Organization for allegedly inflating his assets and net worth by millions of dollars. Trump has denied wrongdoing.
For Trump, who Akerman said is calling the legal shots and"frustrating" his attorneys, the possibility of him entertaining a plea agreement could come to fruition if he somehow faltered in the GOP primaries and another candidate or two possibly garnered more support from the Republican electorate. Aside from the fraud case in New York, Trump has been indicted in Manhattan and Fulton County, Georgia. That doesn't include the federal cases in which he has been indicted after investigations by DOJ Special Counsel
"Trump basically tells his lawyers what to do," Akerman said, referring to the opening statement by his attorney Alina Habba—who instead of discussing the facts of the case alluded to Trump's business empire and presidency.
