New York Attorney General Letitia James is not playing any games! In a recent development following a judge’s ruling ordering former President Donald Trump to pay a hefty $354 million in a civil fraud case, Attorney General James has made it clear that she is prepared to take action to ensure the judgment is paid!
Speaking to ABC News, James stated that if Trump is unable to come up with the funds to cover the fine, her office will seek enforcement mechanisms in court to seize his assets. Clearly she is determination of the Attorney General to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
The case against Trump stemmed from allegations that he inflated his net worth to secure more favorable loan terms, a claim that Judge Arthur Engoron found to be substantiated. Despite Trump’s denial of any wrongdoing and his intention to appeal the ruling, James expressed confidence in the strength of her case on appeal.
Highlighting the significance of the case, James emphasized that financial frauds have real victims and must be addressed to ensure fairness in the financial markets. She refuted Trump’s assertion that the case lacked victims, pointing out the serious nature of the fraud committed.
In her unwavering pursuit of justice, James made it clear that her office is ready to go after Trump’s assets, including the iconic 40 Wall Street skyscraper, to ensure that the court-ordered judgment is paid to New Yorkers. She dismissed Trump’s claims that the case would drive business away from New York, citing positive indicators in tourism and Wall Street activity.
With Trump facing legal challenges on multiple fronts, including recent losses in civil cases and election interference charges, James concluded the interview with a powerful statement about the effectiveness of women in getting things done.
As the legal battle between Letitia James and Donald Trump continues, the outcome remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: the New York Attorney General is determined to see justice served, no matter how powerful the opponent.
“Someone once told me if you want something done, give it to a woman,” James said.
