George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley expressed skepticism on Friday regarding the likelihood of Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James successfully seizing former President Donald Trump's properties, reported the Daily Caller.
Turley pointed out that Trump's properties, being partnerships with leveraged debts, would require a meticulous unraveling process. "So these aren't just this one-to-one Trump versus James type of equation," he said. Furthermore, Turley raised concerns about the potential harm James' actions could inflict on the value of the property she intends to seize. While he acknowledged that it might not matter to James, Turley noted that such impacts would be relevant to a court's considerations.
"There is an issue here of the Eighth Amendment. There's also an issue of due process in addition to that line of cases, which is rather thin, so this is going to be new ground for the courts to deal with, so this is sort of unsettled," Turley said.
