Peebles Critiques Prosecution: Trump Case ‘Victimless Crime’

Don Peebles, a prominent Florida real estate figure and former top fundraiser for Barack Obama, has criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James’ prosecution of Donald Trump.

Speaking on Fox News, Peebles labeled the Trump organization’s real estate dealings as a “victimless crime” and condemned James’ lawsuit as unjust.

Peebles, who actively supported Obama’s campaigns, emphasized that the case against Trump seems politically motivated, contributing to Trump’s increasing popularity. Despite his Democratic affiliations, Peebles has supported progressive causes and previously fundraised for Bill Clinton.

He warns of the dangers of governmental overreach, particularly targeting wealthy entrepreneurs. The ongoing legal battle amplifies Peebles’ concerns about business in New York and the potential misuse of governmental power.
