Trump Tears Into NY Judge, AG Again As James Seeks $370M In Damages

Former President Donald Trump once again blasted New York Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James as the latter announced in a court filing Friday she was seeking additional damages.

“Remember, the corrupt and radical Judge Engoron is a political hack who wouldn’t give us a Jury, wouldn’t let this ‘case’ go to the Commercial Division, where it belongs (would have been TERMINATED), incredibly ignored the Appellate Court decision that struck down almost 90% of this fake lawsuit based on Statute of Limitations, etc., and, Illegally and Unconstitutionally Gagged me and my lawyers, in a brazen and blatant attempt to prevent us from bringing vital information to the Public and the Courts,” Trump posted to Truth Social.

The former president said that James and Engoron are “causing grave damage to our Justice System, to New York State, and to the United States of America!”

A ruling in the case could come any day. Engoron has already ruled “in a summary judgment ruling finding that Trump and his co-defendants were liable for persistent and repeated fraud,” CNN reported, adding that James is now “seeking more than $370 million from Donald Trump and his co-defendants and to bar the former president from doing business in the state,” according to a post-trial brief filed on Friday.

Initially, James sought $250 million from Trump in damages. It’s not clear why she raised the amount being sought in the latest filing.

“The myriad deceptive schemes they employed to inflate asset values and conceal facts were so outrageous that they belie innocent explanation,” the attorney general wrote in her filing.

Trump has repeatedly argued that valuations of his properties throughout the years have always included “disclaimers from Mazars that declare the asset valuations weren’t audited or verified and weren’t calculated using generally accepted accounting principles,” Bloomberg reported.

CNN added:

Trump’s attorneys on Friday argued that Engoron should reject the allegations against Trump, writing in their briefs that most of the transactions in the attorney general’s complaint were beyond the statute of limitations, that Trump’s statements of financial condition did not contain material misstatements, and that the attorney general did not demonstrate any real-world impact.

“There is no evidence in the record that the terms or pricing of any of the subject loans would have been different based on the purported misstatements alleged by Plaintiff,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “Not a single witness from any bank (or anywhere else) testified to this at trial.”
