Judge rebuts attacks from Trump's attorney in $250M civil case

Judge Arthur Engoron rebutted attacks from Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba against New York Attorney General Letitia James, after she attacked James for saying in her campaign for attorney general that she was going to “get Trump.” The judge responded by noting that the defense already tried to dismiss the case claiming that James brought it as a “witch hunt” against Trump. #CNN #News

He keeps saying his properties are worth a bajillion dollars. Ok, Stable Genius, how about you pay the back taxes on them then.

[ambmainman]

But wait a minute.... If he's paying property tax payments on a country club independently valued in Florida at $20m....but he claims it's worth he's definitely either defrauded on the property tax and ripped off the people of or he's a liar!

[pippinhillhaviland]

The judge did NOT valuate the worth of Mar-a-Lago! It was the tax assessor that put a value on it between 16-28 million!

This is a guy that buys a property for 10 million dollars, and then has the nerve to tell the the US tax office that same property is only worth 3 million dollars, while at the same time, he goes out to get a loan and declares to the bank that the same property is worth 25 million dollars... for decades he has been doing that, for various properties and he says it's NOT fraud. (Yeah, and the world is flat too.)

Funny how he calls the press the 'enemy of the people' but he runs toward a camera whenever he sees one

[ellydavis]

He's not used to being held to account and he can't wrap his head around what's happening to him. When you are used to a position of privilege, equality can feel like oppression.

The question isn't "Why do they want to lock Trump up so bad?"... it's "Why are some people so hell bent on having a man get away with any and all crimes?"

[danforster]

"Single greatest witchhunt of all time" and YES the witch has been caught!

[richardluce]

“My properties are worth billions but only pay taxes on pennies.”
Yes Sir, that’s exactly why your in court.

[corkyoakes]

Now that Trump is finally being held accountable in his life… He’s being a big baby and trying to play the victim. It’s pathetic. We all see through him, except for his most ardent supporters.

[mitchthompson]

How can you stand outside the courtroom and say the judge has gone "Rogue" and not end up in jail? During a break at the trial? They would lock up the regular person for contempt in a heartbeat.

[meebzilla]

As a 30 year veteran attorney, I salute Letitia James.

[salvadorvega]

He's just pleading to his followers to do something. That's all he has. If he can't lie to his followers, he has nothing.

[thomasperkins]

Trumps ego and narcissistic behavior will be his downfall, I think he's so pissed because these judges he's dealing with won't take his bullshit anymore..

[georgepaton]

Privileged people can’t handle being treated like regular citizens

[johnnysoccer]

HE put the value of the property at $18million for his taxes, NOT the judge. Every time he says it's worth more, he's admitting they did fraud. It's amazing his lawyers haven't told him to stop admitting to fraud almost like the lawyers want him to be found guilty at this point.

[fredrit]

How on earth, can you get away with insulting judges like that is beyond me, why is he allowed to do that ?

[stefanossmitty]

Funny how he can run his pie hole outside the courtroom but will not testify IN COURT or pleads the 5th when the rubber meets the road 🤣🤣

[anthonybelyea]

Who else could stand outside of the courtroom and talk about the legal judge anybody else would be arrested

[chadl]

Its so funny he is still claiming his properties are worth so much more than they are, the con-man is admitting he should be paying so much more in taxes and lies about the worth of everything.
