39.45% believes that Trump’s civil fraud trial could be politically motivated

New York Attorney General Letitia James accused former U.S. President Donald Trump and some other defendants, including his companies and his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, of inflating the value of assets to obtain favorable loans and insurance deals. Even before the trial, the judge, Arthur F. Engoron ruled that Trump and the other defendants were liable for fraud. Ms. James had asked for Trump to pay $250 million and that he and his sons be permanently barred from running a business in New York. Trump’s trial has been ongoing with multiple defendants since then. Under these circumstances, Real Research has conducted a survey on Donald Trump’s upcoming trial to gauge the public’s reaction.
