New York Attorney General trolls former president as interest starts accruing on monster judgment
A $455m judgment against Donald Trump is increasing by more than $110,000 each day due to interest penalties.
And New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is preprared to seize his assets if necessary, is not going to let Mr Trump forget.
When the final judgment in the sprawling fraud trial against Mr Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and former Trump Organization executives was approved on Friday, the attorney general’s X account posted the exact figure down to the last cent.
Twenty four hours later, her account wrote: “+$114,553.04”.
I can imagine there are more than a few foreign (and domestic) billionaires salivating at the idea of buying a GOP presidential frontrunner while simultaneously securing fire-sale level security positions on his properties.
That the fun thing about what SCOTUS decided. Now that money is speech, foreign powers can set up PACs which claim to be helping a candidate get elected but are actually able to pay that candidate’s legal fees for something totally unrelated and it’s all totally legal!
God bless America, am I right?
Incidentally, on the day of the judgement, Elon’s jet was in the vicinity of Mar-a-Lago.
