Prominent Fundraiser Don Peebles Challenges Prosecution of Trump

Don Peebles, a prominent Florida real estate figure and major fundraiser for former President Barack Obama, criticizes New York Attorney General Letitia James’ pursuit of former President Donald Trump.

Peebles deems the charges against Trump’s real estate dealings as baseless, suggesting they’re politically motivated. He argues that Trump’s popularity rises due to perceived victimization.

Peebles, who actively supported Obama and Bill Clinton, voices concern over the government’s power to target successful entrepreneurs. Amid legal battles, Trump’s team seeks to delay payment of a hefty judgment. Trump portrays himself as a target of political persecution, echoing Republican support against alleged attempts to impede his 2024 candidacy.
