Trump Lied About Secret Service Concerns to Throw Off New York AG
https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-lied-about-secret-service-concerns-to-throw-off-new-york-attorney-generalIn confidential court documents, former President Donald Trump tried to squirm his way out of taking a trip to the New York Attorney Generals office last month, telling a judge that the Secret Service had security concerns about the AGs office, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
In the days before his Aug. 10 deposition, according to those two sources and a third person familiar with the discussions, Trumps legal team asked that the contentious interview at the AGs office be relocated to a more comfortable, convenient spot for the former president: Trump Tower.
The excuse appalled those who read it, spurring them to speak to The Daily Beast.
In correspondence that was filed in secret, Trumps legal team notified state investigators that the Secret Service was opposed to transporting him to the AGs office in Manhattans Financial District, both sources said. The letter cited some sort of safety concern related to having the former president at the 60-story skyscraper at 28 Liberty Streetwhich is located just across the street from a Trump-owned building.

How can he be so clever to come up w/ these legal delay strategies? We think he has not so smart lawyers..so who is advising him of these maneuvers ?

he is as dumb when it comes to some things. He knows how to manipulate and cheat people I believe. Hes very good at blaming everyone else for his actions. He is lousy though at picking lawyers.
