Trump lawyers made last-minute decision to settle NYC lawsuit after struggling to find jurors who didn't hate him: report

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has decided to settle with protesters who alleged they were beaten by his security guards outside Trump Tower seven years ago -- and it's reportedly because they feared jurors would pummel him.

The Daily Beast's John Pagliery reports that Trump's lawyers made a "last-minute decision" to settle "after struggling to find Bronx jurors who didn’t have strong feelings about Trump and his eponymous company."

The settlement was delivered to the plaintiffs after prospective jurors were sent out to lunch on Wednesday, as Trump lawyers had apparently concluded that taking the case to trial would result in a financial disaster for the twice-impeached former president.

…

Terms of the settlements are still not known, but the plaintiffs in the case -- Efrain Galicia, Florencia Tejeda Perez, Miguel Villalobos, and Norberto Garcia -- quickly signed on after being presented with the offer.

The agreement also stated that "the parties all agree that the plaintiffs in the action, and all people, have a right to engage in peaceful protest on public sidewalks."

1. Seems to me they could have easily won

but instead signed on to a settlement which they will never get. Trump never pays. Big mistake.

2. Settlement money is placed in legal trust and enforced by the court. If the lawyers said ok, it's ok

4. You don't dismiss the suit until the settlement check is received.

If the check is not received, you go back to the court to enforce the settlement.

5. Oh, the plaintiffs will get paid.

It's his attorneys that won't get paid.
