The question of whether Trump's legal team could have requested a jury trial in his civil fraud case seems to have been resolved.
An attorney for Donald Trump has been vindicated after being previously accused of not checking a legal box to allow a jury to determine a trial's outcome.Alina Habba, a Trump ally who has represented him in various instances as his legal battles have accumulated, was widely chastised and claimed to not have requested a jury trial as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against the former president, his adult sons and the Trump Organization.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek via phone that according to New York state law and the claims made by James' office, a defendant—Trump and company in this case—are seeking equitable relief rather than money damages based on accusations and the potential for companies to be shut down and business licenses to be revoked.The system, which is combined in the United States, originally stems from British common law where separate legal and equitable courts acted separately.
