MSNBC Hosts Explain How Trump's Lying Habit Might Finally Bite Him

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Jonathan Lemire explained how former President Donald Trump's penchant for lies and exaggeration might finally be catching up with him.

Donald Trump and his children should be compelled to testify under oath in the civil investigation of the Trump Organization, according to a motion filed Tuesday by the New York Attorney General.

Donald Trump and the company may have misrepresented the values of multiple assets in order to get more money, according to the attorney general's office. James' office said that Trump "misstated objective facts," such as the size of his Manhattan Trump Tower penthouse, and failed to advise that certain valuations were inflated for "brand value."

The findings were no surprise to the host. Donald Trump will give you a cup of water if you are out golfing with him. My picture is on it. It is worth $10,000.

He exaggerates. He fights with Forbes over how high he should be on the list of America's richest people.

Will the Manhattan District Attorney be able to apply any charges against Donald Trump, doing what he has been doing for 50 years?

He said he had seen Trump behave this way many times.

He pointed to Trump's obsession with crowd sizes and his tendency to inflate the number of attendees at his rallies.

He exaggerates. Everything is the best, the most expensive and the most valuable. It is part of why his branding is so important.

He pointed to an example in Tuesday's filing in which Trump claimed that his Trump Tower penthouse was 30,000 square feet, even though it was just under 11,000 square feet.

He exaggerated by a factor of three. Those things are not in this case. Lemire said that inflating evaluations of property for investors or tax purposes is a serious matter.

It hasn't come to criminal charges just yet, but Attorney General Letitia James is trying to use this moment to force testimony from not just the former president but two of his adult children.
