There has been speculation that Trump's $250 million fraud civil case will not be decided by a jury because his team did not tick a box in documents to request one.
Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, has denied suggestions that the former president is not getting a jury trial in his New York $250 million fraud civil case because his legal team did not request one in legal filings.and that is why the outcome of the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James will be decided by the judge in a bench trial.
Habba argued that the case was filed under New York Executive Law 63, which she described as a"very narrow, not appropriately used section of the law" for consumer protection where a jury are generally not required. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman was one of those who suggested Trump's legal team are to blame for there not being a jury to decide his fate in New York.
