Trump's Tirade: Former President Slams 'Deranged' Judge and 'Racist' Attorney General Post Fraud Liability Ruling
In the wake of a significant legal setback, former U.S. President Donald Trump has unleashed a barrage of criticism against New York Judge Arthur F. Engoran and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The recent court ruling found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud, a decision that could have far-reaching implications for the Trump Organization.
The case, spearheaded by Attorney General James, sought $250 million in damages. Following the judge's decision, which also ordered the revocation of the Trump Organization's "business certificates," a trial is set to commence on October 2nd to determine the exact amount Trump will be required to pay.
Trump, known for his unfiltered responses, took to his Truth Social platform to voice his discontent. He labeled Judge Engoran as "Deranged" and "Trump Hating," accusing him of rushing the case through the New York State Court at an unprecedented speed. Trump further alleged that the judge intentionally undervalued his properties, despite what he claimed was "overwhelming evidence" to the contrary.
The former president didn't spare Attorney General James either, branding her as "Racist" and accusing her of pursuing a politically motivated agenda. Trump emphasized that while crime rates surged in New York, his financial dealings remained above board, with all loans either current or fully paid off.
In a series of posts, Trump lamented the state of justice in the U.S., stating, "WE NEED JUSTICE IN OUR COUNTRY!" He went on to claim that his Mar-a-Lago property was worth significantly more than the court's valuation and that his net worth far exceeded the figures presented in his financial statements.
While Trump's reaction was fiery, Attorney General James maintained a focused approach. In a statement released on September 26th, she said, "Today, a judge ruled in our favor and found that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization engaged in years of financial fraud. We look forward to presenting the rest of our case at trial."
The legal battle, which has captured national attention, underscores the challenges Trump faces post-presidency. As the trial looms, the nation watches closely, awaiting the next chapter in this high-stakes legal drama.
