On Monday, leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump traveled to New York City to appear in front of Judge Arthur Engoron for his first hearing in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James after the judge ruled that Trump committed fraud by supposedly inflating the value of his properties.
"JUST ARRIVED AT THE COURTHOUSE TO FIGHT A CORRUPT & RACIST ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND A ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, TRUMP HATING JUDGE, WHO REFUSES TO FOLLOW THE APPELLATE COURT DECISION WHICH KNOKS OUT 80% OF THIS SHAM CASE," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" In a statement outside the courtroom to reporters, President Trump slammed Engoron, who was seen with a wide grin as Trump entered the courtroom, as a "rogue judge."
"This is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time," Trump said. "We have a rogue judge that ruled that properties are worth a tiny fraction, 1/100, a tiny fraction of what they actually are. We have a racist attorney general who's a horror show who ran on the basis that she's going to get Trump before she even knew anything about me."
"It's a scam. It's a sham. Just so you know my financial statements are phenomenal," he explained, adding that his financial statement actually devaluated his actual net worth. He also added that the banks that gave him these loans did not have any problem with Trump's finances or his ability to pay them back.
"No bank was affected. No bank was hurt. They don't even know why they have to be involved," he said. "They can't believe that they are involved because they were paid back on time. There were no defaults. There were no problems. And it was like a perfect client. In the meantime, people are being murdered all over the sidewalks in New York. There was no victim here."
He went on to add that the lawfare against him is "election interference" in an effort to stop him from winning the 2024 election. He also argued that the DOJ has orchestrated these efforts in order to undermine his campaign for the presidency as he continues to rise in the polls.
