Trump is facing multiple charges – but there is one that could seriously harm his reputation | Emma Brockes

Of the many cases against the presidential hopeful, a civil trial that threatens his image as a tycoon is likely to hit him hardest, says Guardian columnist Emma Brockes

For my money, it is the current civil trial in New York, brought by the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, that threatens Trump’s reputation most acutely and right where it hurts. The suit carries no threat of prison or disruption to Trump’s presidential bid. But in the short term it does threaten to unseat his reputation as a businessman of any standing and strip him of his licence to operate a business in New York.

    There is one other case that is a bigger threat to trump. The Colorado suit to keep him off the ballot. Closing statements were made Wednesday and the judge is expected to give her verdict today. This is the first court testing if Trump incited the insurrection. If she judges in favor of the plantiffs, it will set legal precedent that trump incited the insurrection and be a springboard for every purple state.

    I imagine the defense have the appeals paperwork ready to file, just in case.
