'I don't know how he pays it': Trump's future in doubt facing $370 million fine
January 08, 2024
Reacting to New York Attorney General Letitia James increasing to $370 million the fine she wants to be imposed on Donald Trump for financial fraud, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough suggested it would ruin the former president because he likely doesn't have that kind of cash.
After co-host Mika Brzezinski reported on the stunning change requested in Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom on Friday, the two hosts shook their heads at the former president's prospects if Engoron accedes to James' request when he makes a final ruling next month.
"The New York Attorney General is now seeking $370 million as a penalty against Donald Trump and his company, just slightly up from the last request," Brzezinski reported before adding, "Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday. Trump is expected to appear in court for that to find out how much he has to pay for what he's already been found [guilty of]."

"For his sake, I hope it is, like, $25.75. I mean, he does not have that money," co-host Scarborough interjected.
"She's asking for a lot, I wonder what happens if she gets it?" Brzezinski asked.
"I don't know how he pays it, I don't think he is capable. I don't think he has that much money," Scarborough pointed out.
