BREAKING: Trump Issues Blazing Response To 'SHAM' $354 Million Fine - 'They Are Crazed Lunatics'

On Friday afternoon, Judge Arthur Engoron issued his decision in the civil fraud case brought in Manhattan by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D-NY). The judge found that Trump defrauded various banks to receive more beneficial loan terms. In addition to the hefty fine, Trump was also barred "from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years."

In response to the decision, Trump took to Truth Social to lament the ruling. "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," Trump wrote. 

Trump went on to explain that there were no victims in the case and that not a single person testified that there was fraud. "The Highly Respected Expert Witness said my Financial Statements were among the best he has ever seen. I paid over $300 Million Dollars in taxes to New York City and State, and they want me gone," he continued. "They are Crazed Lunatics who are destroying everything in their way. It all starts with Biden’s attacks on his Political Opponent!"

"The actual bankers who were involved in the loan transactions testified I was a highly sought-after 'whale' of a client with 'one of the strongest personal balance sheets' they had ever seen, and I was overqualified for the loans. Those banks earned more than $100 Million Dollars in profits doing business with me and my companies," Trump explained. "But to justify his crazed attack on me and my family, this biased, Trump Hating Judge, ignored all this, and even said Michael Cohen told the truth, although Cohen admitted to lying hundreds of times, and lied right in front of the Judge during the trial. This shocking and corrupt Interference in the Free Markets for political gain places every New York business transaction at risk. We must make sure Corrupt Politicians and Judges cannot continue to abuse the power of their office, and violate the public trust. We have already won, and will continue the fight on appeal!"
