Trump Goes Completely Nuts After Prosecutors Ask For Harshest Punishment Possible

New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking the judge to impose a financial penalty of $370 million against Donald Trump in addition to prohibiting him from doing business in New York. Trump responded exactly how you would expect him to respond: He had a meltdown on Truth Social. Not only is he raging about the request, but he's claiming that the state of New York should actually be paying HIM to stay there. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

On Friday, Letitia James, New York Attorney General filed a motion with Judge Arthur Geron asking to increase the amount of money that she is seeking from Donald Trump from 250 million, which was the original lawsuit amount. She now wants it to be 370 million plus interest because as she argued in her court filing, the amount of corruption and the new information that was revealed during the trial warrants a higher number. Now because Geron already ruled on this case, but not on the total amount that Trump owed, it is within the realm of law for Letitia James to ask for an increased penalty. Had Geron issued a summary judgment that included the 250 million, she would have to file a new lawsuit against him to get the extra 120. But because the ruling he already issued only dealt with liability, not the amount, what the whole trial's been about is the amount she's allowed to do that.

So just wanted to get that outta the way. You know, the legal aspects of that. She is well within her rights to do this. But in addition to asking for an additional 120 million, again, plus interest, she also asked that Donald Trump be permanently, permanently banned from doing any real estate business in New York and that his two adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. And Eric Trump be banned from doing any real estate business in New York for five years. And on Saturday, Donald Trump responded to this exactly how you would expect by going absolutely ballistic on truth, social and then demanding. Uh, you know what? I'm just gonna read it. Here's what Trump put on truth social. I did nothing wrong. My financial statements are great and very conservative. The exact opposite of what the highly political and totally corrupt New York State Attorney General says. Now, the corrupt Ag Attorney General wants 370 million as businesses flee New York, they should pay me. This is prosecutorial misconduct to DOJ Department of Justice Witch Hunt.

They're allowed to do that. The final amount had not been settled on yet. The judge had not issued a ruling on the final amount. And again, as Letitia James points out in her filing, given all of the new information and the depth of the corruption that was in fact revealed during the trial, she can do that. Now, whether or not Judge Arthur Geron goes along with it, that's different story. We won't know the end of that story probably till the end of January because that's when Geron says he hopes, hopes to have his decision handed down. By now. The trial is going to resume, uh, in just a couple days now. So we're gonna get back at it. They're gonna have their closing

Arguments, I believe January 11th is when that's gonna happen. And then the judge will go and he'll make his determination, but Inger on has already signaled that it's probably gonna take him a few weeks to make that final determination. But either way, Donald Trump is running scared and he's letting everybody know how scared he is by putting this idiotic post on truth social. He can say that he did nothing wrong, all he wants, but his liability guilt basically was already determined. You no longer can say you did nothing wrong. You are in fact, in the eyes of the law, a fraud stir. Now it's just a matter of how much money you have to pay because of all of your fraud.
