Donald Trump is close to the deadline to post bond in his fraud trial—and he’s screwing himself over even more.
After having reached out to several guarantors and 30 suretors for help posting his $464 million New York bank fraud bond, Donald Trump suddenly wants everyone to know he actually does have the cash.
In a bizarre rant on Friday morning, the man who was found to have defrauded banks and investors by overvaluing himself and the value of his properties claimed that he had accrued the wealth by way of “HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK.”
Trump also admitted he has nearly half a billion dollars in cash.
The confession directly contradicts a filing from his legal team last month arguing that it would be “impossible” to secure a bond covering the full amount of the multimillion-dollar ruling.
Trump’s words will surely help out New York Attorney General Letitia James, who on Wednesday urged an appeals court to ignore Donald Trump’s latest effort to worm his way out of paying the $464 million disgorgement from his bank fraud trial.
How is “Corrupt AG” not referring the AG?
Because he said “ corrupt AG case”, not “corrupt AG”.
Exactly. If he had made a corruption allegation against the AG directly, then there is a possible case.
This shithead spends 24/7 with caretakers carefully wording his every sentence outside of speeches because he just definitively lost a defamation case, TWICE. I’d be surprised if he gets off the leash enough to actually do it again. Terrible lawyers if he does.
You paint him and his sycophants as pr masterminds suddenly, something they’re certainly not and have never been. You attribute too much intelligence and competence to him and his people.
The law is pretty damn clear. Get all bent up if you want, but it’s there for review.
English isn’t my first language, but I’d read it more like " the case brought by the corrupt AG" rather than " the corrupt case brought by the AG".
Yes, but he gets to decide which version he meant when it suits him to do so.
In this case, the ambiguity of his terrible wording works in his favour.
