After Judge Arthur Engoron rocked former President Donald Trump with a hard punch to the wallet on Friday, Trump came out counter-punching and declared “We have already won, and will continue the fight …. ”
On Friday, Engoron hit Trump with $355 million in fines in Trump’s civil trial, claiming Trump used false and inflated values for his properties on financial statements. Trump was also barred from serving as a director of a New York state-based company for the next three years, according to CNN. Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., who have played leading roles in the company since Trump was elected president, are barred from serving as corporate executives for the next two years. Trump has said he will appeal the decision.
Trump, who sparred often with Engoron during the trial, was defiance personified in comments to Fox News in which he said the verdicts were more political election interference from Democrats, vowing “they will not be successful.”
“This Election Interference and tyrannical Abuse of Power by a Crooked Judge and Crooked Attorney General cannot be tolerated,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“My case was already won in the Appellate Division, and more than 80% of the frivolous claims were wiped out. Yet, as I suspected, and in order to hurt me and the Republican Party politically, Crooked and Corrupt Judge Arthur Engoron ignored his loss at the Appellate Division, and came up with an outrageous $355 Million Dollar fine against me,” Trump wrote.
Trump noted that the law has never been weaponized until state Attorney General Letitia James used it to fulfill her campaign promise to go after him.
