Thirty banks turned down Trump’s request for an appeal bond for the $454 million he owes in the New York fraud case,’ so Trump went on Truth Social to rant that he’ll be forced to ‘sell off great assets’ at ‘fire sale prices’ and that Judge Engoron is trying to ‘take his rights away.’
This means that Trump — who has always claimed to be a billionaire — would have to sell off some of his favorite real estate, including Trump Tower in New York.
State AG Letitia James could begin seizing Trump’s assets as soon as Monday.
‘The Corrupt Political Hacks in New York, Judge and AG, are asking me to put up massive amounts of money before I am allowed to appeal the ridiculous decision. Never done before. No jury, no victim, full disclaimer clause, happy banks. ELECTION INTERFERENCE! WITCH HUNT!’ Trump vented in just one of his Truth Social posts.
‘I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!’ Trump added.
In response, James said she was ‘very confident’ in her case and mentioned one of Trump’s trophy properties, 40 Wall St.
‘We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day,’ she said, noting the skyscraper is near her downtown office.
