'They weren't really experts': Letitia James shreds Trump's 'golf buddies' defense

Attorney General Letitia James took to social media Friday night to throw some snark at Donald Trump: That wasn’t a defense, she said, that was golf buddies.

James, the State prosecutor leading the charge in Trump’s $250 million civil lawsuit, ridiculed the panel of expert defense witnesses she said failed to refute the key charges in her fraud case.

“We heard testimony from their many expert witnesses, but they weren’t real experts,” James said.

“We did learn something,” James said with a smile. “Several of these experts are longtime friends and golf buddies of Donald Trump.”

Without naming names, James went down the roster and explained why she found each witness’s testimony less than compelling.

“Their accounting expert has never once worked on the types of financial statements at the heart of Donald Trump’s fraud,” James said.

“Their expert on real estate finance admitted that he not only lacks experience in valuing real estate, but he also does not have any experience with the accounting standards and personal financial statements that this case revolves around.”

Earlier this week, Raw Story reported that accounting expert James Flemmons called one Trump Organization document “a red flag” and that Trump warned lenders certain records weren’t reliable. Another expert on insurance appeared to contradict himself on the stand.

James’ brief statement then details the credential they did share: proximity to Donald Trump.

“One has donated millions of dollars to Donald Trump’s campaign and his son even got married at Mar-a-Lago,” said James. “Another is a member of Mar-a-Lago and several other Trump golf clubs."

“We have presented the facts and the facts don’t lie,” James concluded. "Not one of their experts disproved that.”
