The 45th president took to Truth Social to react to the ruling in his civil fraud case.
“A Crooked New York State Judge, working with a totally Corrupt Attorney General who ran on the basis of ‘I will get Trump,’ before knowing anything about me or my company, has just fined me $355 Million based on nothing other than having built a GREAT COMPANY. ELECTION INTERFERENCE. WITCH HUNT.”
“The Justice System in New York State, and America as a whole, is under assault by partisan, deluded, biased Judges and Prosecutors. Racist, Corrupt A.G. Tish James has been obsessed with “Getting Trump” for years, and used Crooked New York State Judge Engoron to get an illegal, unAmerican judgment against me, my family, and my tremendous business. I helped New York City during its worst of times, and now, while it is overrun with Violent Biden Migrant Crime, the Radicals are doing all they can to kick me out…..”
“Page 2: This ‘decision’ is a Complete and Total SHAM. There were No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints. Only satisfied Banks and Insurance Companies (which made a ton of money), GREAT Financial Statements, that didn’t even include the most valuable Asset – The TRUMP Brand, IRONCLAD Disclaimers (Buyer Beware, and Do your Own Due Diligence), and amazing Properties all over the World. All the other side had was a ridiculous $18 million valuation of magnificent Mar-a-Lago, an unConstitutional Gag Order, a Consumer Fraud Statute never before used for this purpose, No Jury allowed, and a refusal to send this disgusting charade to the Commercial Division, where it would have been put to a deserving end…”
“Page 3: This ‘case’ is OVER ever since the Appellate Division ended it on Statute of Limitations, also letting my daughter Ivanka out of this Witch Hunt. The Democrat Club-controlled Judge Engoron has already been reversed four times on this case, a shameful record, and he will be reversed again. We cannot let injustice stand, and will fight Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponized persecution at every step. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. had a shorter response, expressing that the United States is at a point where one’s political beliefs dictate outcomes of a case.
“We’ve reached the point where your political beliefs combined with what venue your case is heard are the primary determinants of the outcome; not the facts of the case!” Trump Jr. stated.
“It’s truly sad what’s happened to our country and I hope others see it before it’s too late to correct course!” he continued.
Habba took to X (Twitter) to express her frustration with the verdict and the New York law system.
In his verdict that was revealed on Friday, Judge Arthur Engoron required that the President Trump must pay $354.9 million for his alleged fraud. His two sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, were each charged $4 million for their part in the trial.
Former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg was fined $1 million.
Additionally, Trump is banned from conducting business in New York and serving as an officer or director at any New York corporation or legal entity for three years. His two sons are banned from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity for two years.
However, the verdict is expect to be appealed.
