Former President Donald Trump honored Memorial Day with a scorching post calling out current President Joe Biden and Judge Lewis Kaplan, among others. Trump initially posted an image of himself saluting a decorated wreath.
After, Trump posted, “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country.” In the lengthy post, Trump named E. Jean Carroll, Judge Juan Merchan and Judge Arthur Engoron, calling him a “Radical Left, Trump-Hating Federal Judge” and “N.Y. State Wacko Judge.”
Trump’s post received criticism from social media, including the Biden-Harris X account that called out Trump for not honoring fallen soldiers. Other accounts shared similar opinions.
On Memorial Day, Biden visited Arlington National Cemetary and delivered a tribute to the fallen soldiers. “Freedom has never been guaranteed. Every generation has to earn it. Fight for it,” Biden said. “Defend it in battle between autocracy and democracy.

Judge Juan Merchan found Donald Trump in contempt of court on Tuesday for repeatedly violating the gag order in the former president’s New York hush-money case. Merchan fined Trump a total of $9,000 for bucking the order against publicly commenting on court staff, prosecutors, prospective jurors, or the judge’s family — and lamented that New York state law prevented him from laying down a steeper penalty.
Penalizing Trump $1,000 for each infraction “unfortunately will not achieve the desired result,” the judge said, adding that the court “must therefore consider whether in...

Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond in the New York civil fraud case against him on Monday, preventing state authorities from collecting a $454 million penalty and seizing his assets, including properties such as Trump Tower, while he appeals the verdict.
If his appeal fails, the former president, who is seeking to return to the White House in the November election, will still owe the nearly half-billion dollar judgement, plus millions in interest. If Trump wins the appeal, he’ll get back the money he posted and won’t owe the state anything.

Update: Donald Trump has secured a $175 million bond as his appeals a New York civil fraud judgment against himself, family members and his business empire.
According to a filing tonight. the bond came from the Knight Specialty Insurance Company in Los Angeles.
Trump’s move will prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from seizing his assets. He originally was required to pay the $464 judgement against him in the civil fraud case, but an appeals court last week gave him 10 more days to post a reduced amount.
Last month, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump and his companies owed $464 million after earlier concluding that he had engaged in fraud by overstating the value of assets to secure more favorable terms from lenders. His ruling also restricted his ability to do business in the state.

Retired Judge Barbara Jones, who was appointed last November as the independent financial monitor of the Trump Organization, has been given sweeping new powers to run the troubled company, much to its lawyers’ chagrin.
After Judge Arthur Engoron‘s ruling last month, Jones, a former mob prosecutor, is effectively running the company after Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr. were barred from running companies in New York for a fixed period.
The judge ordered Trump and his company to pay $355 million in restitution for decades of business fraud.
The company is now appealing the bans and fines.
Jones was assigned to serve as the Trump Organization’s independent monitor by Judge Engoron at the recommendation made by New York Attorney General Letitia James in September 2023.
Trump’s lawyers have quickly turned on Jones as she has amassed ever-greater power over the company.

The White House has called out former President Donald Trump for sharing a video featuring a grim image of President Joe Biden.
Trump posted the video while he was returning from the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller who was killed this week. The video shows the back of a pickup truck with an image of Biden with his hands and feet tied. The truck also includes several pro-Trump images, including a sticker that says “Trump 2024” and a custom license plate of “TRUMP4US.” Other cars with pro-Trump imagery were also seen driving down the highway.
The Biden campaign condemned Trump for suggesting harm and violence against the current president. A spokesperson for Biden’s campaign, Michael Tyler, said, “Trump is regularly inciting political violence, and it’s time people take him seriously—just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked for protecting our democracy on Jan.

Donald Trump isn’t too happy that Judge Juan Merchan rejected his legal team’s efforts to further delay his hush-money trial in New York. Merchan instead scheduled the trial to begin April 15, prompting the former president to attack him mercilessly in a post-hearing press conference on Monday. The next day, Trump went after Merchan’s daughter, calling her a “Super Liberal Democrat” in an effort to demonstrate that her father is biased against him.

Jon Stewart’s weekly slot behind the Daily Show desk on Monday saw the host eviscerate Canadian mogul and Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary for comments he made indicating that Donald Trump and his company were unfairly targeted by New York state, which issued a punishing penalty against the former president in a civil fraud case.
Following the harsh judgment leveled by Judge Arthur Engoron in the case led by New York Attorney General Leticia James, Trump had been staring down a Monday deadline to raise enough cash to pay a $454 million bond. But on Monday, that figure was reduced at the eleventh hour by the state’s appellate court, and now Trump and his associates must fork over $175 million within 10 days of the ruling.

On Monday, amidst his numerous trials, Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ on social media.
Trump was in a Manhattan court on Monday for the hush money trial that grew out of payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels who had an alleged affair with him. At the time of the affair, Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen paid Daniels to stay quiet before Trump’s 2016 presidential election.
Trump also faces a $454 million fine for the civil fraud case brought on by Attorney General Letitia James. Judge Arthur Engoron gave Trump 30 days from the official order to pay the bond, with March 25 as the deadline, or have his assets seized.

Former President Donald Trump said he has almost $500 million in cash after Trump’s lawyers said he did not have enough funds to pay a $464 million bond. The bond was part of Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling for the civil fraud case brought against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Thirty bond organizations previously rejected Trump and his team after Engoron gave him 30 days to pay from the official order.
Trump’s assets risked being seized if he does not come up the $464 million by Monday.
In February, James said she was ready to seize his assets if he does not pay on time and stated her office’s determination to collect the fine from Trump.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote in all caps, “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which...

With a payment deadline of March 25 days away, former President Donald Trump has yet to come up with the $464 million bond he will need to pay. In the civil fraud case brought on by New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump was found guilty of fraud, including wildly inflating the values of his properties including Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower in order to obtain lower interest rates and better terms.
As part of the ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $464 million within a 30-day timeframe. To secure the money, Trump and his team reached out to 30 surety firms but were denied each time. Trump has stated he will appeal the case.
With only days left until March 25, James is preparing to seize Trump’s properties, including his New York two estates. Court documents show that James has already filed the necessary paperwork to seize two New York properties.

Attorneys for Donald Trump said that they have been unable to secure a bond as they appeal his $464 million civil fraud judgment.
In a filing to the New York appeals court, his lawyers wrote that the amount of the judgment, along with interest, is of such a sum that “few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude.”
“The practical impossibility of obtaining a bond interferes with Defendants’ right to appeal and threatens this Court’s appellate jurisdiction,” Trump’s legal team argued in the filing.
Trump’s team is asking for a stay, something that would at least temporarily prevent Attorney General Letitia James from collecting the sum.
Trump’s attorneys said that they had approached about 30 surety companies through four separate brokers. They wrote that obtaining the appeal bond in the full amount was “not possible under the circumstances presented.”

Roberta Kaplan, the attorney representing columnist E. Jean Carroll, indicated that Former President Donald Trump could face another defamation lawsuit for attacking her client during a Georgia campaign rally.
On March 8, Trump posted the $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of Carroll. The higher amount had been required due to interest payments that the former president owed.
This bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which needed extensive collateral, probably including mostly cast assets.
“I just posted a $91 million bond – $91 million – on a fake story – totally made up story,” the former president said during the rally. “Think of it, 91 million I could say things about what it would cost normally – 91 million – based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of.

Ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to committing perjury during his testimony in Donald Trump‘s New York civil fraud trial.
In early February, Weisselberg was reportedly in talks to plead guilty to perjury in his civil fraud case in October 2023 regarding Trump’s financial statements.
In his testimony, the ex-cfo could not offer clear information about his Trump’s finances, often saying that he did not remember. While on the stand, he was asked why the former president’s triplex was listed as three times its actual size. He claimed he “never even thought about the apartment,” and that was in his mind.
In late January, a published report in Forbes showed that he talked in detail about these issues with a reporter.
He was not expected to testify against Trump if he took the plea deal and said deal was also not expected to require him to turn against the former president.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) said in an X post, “Judge Engeron should be disrobed and thrown out, he’s a disgrace!!!”
The now-deleted post came after Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million in damages in a civil fraud case. In her post, Greene also mentioned Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida home which he had inflated the cost of.
After Greene’s post went live, users on X were confused by her use of the word “disrobe.” Disrobe is “to take off one’s clothes,” according to the Oxford Dictionary. Other users realized Greene most likely meant to say “disbarred,” which means to ban a lawyer from practicing.

Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal of a New York judge’s $464 million civil fraud judgment, as he grapples with an order that found him and his businesses liable for overstating their assets to get more favorable loan terms.
The notice was filed today, after Judge Arthur Engoron made his decision official last week. Engoron also restricted the ability of the Trump organization to do business in the state.
The question is now whether Trump can post a bond as he pursues an appeal. Engoron’s notice on Friday started a 30-day window for Trump to pay or to seek some type of relief sidelining that sum as he and his lawyers try to overturn the verdict.
The lawsuit was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who posted on X/Twitter on Sunday: “+$114,553.04 = $464,805,336.70” The $114,553.04 figure is the amount in interest being added to the total for each...

Update, 3:57Pm: Donald Trump is going to have to sell a lot of Mar-a-Lago memberships to meet his debt to the state of New York.
With a final judgment officially entered today into the court docket on the now-$454 million fine the former president and family owe from his civil fraud trial, Team Trump is looking at interest of $114,554 a day.
“This judgment shall bear interest from the date of its entry at the statutory rate of 9% per annum,” wrote NY Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron yesterday in the document made public today (read it here).
Breaking it down, that’s $111,984 every 24 hours for the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host himself. The sum is based on the total judgment delivered by Judge Engoron of $354.9 million plus the $100 million already accrued in pre-judgment interest for the financial sleight-of-hand Trump, his sons and executives engaged in for decades with banks and more for favorable loans.

In conversation with ABC News’ Aaron Katersky, James emphasized that if Trump cannot cover the judgment, her office will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court and request the seizure of his assets.
Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last week that Trump must pay $354.8 million, along with approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest, after it was found that he had inflated his net worth to obtain more favorable loan terms.
Trump has continuously denied any wrongdoing and plans to appeal the ruling.
James expressed confidence in the strength of her case on appeal and reiterated her office’s determination to collect the court-ordered fine from Trump. She...

Donald Trump was ordered to pay out $355 million in his New York civil fraud trial, after being found guilty of inflating his assets in order to get loans from various banks. For “The View” host Sara Haines, this amount was “excessive,” and “slightly” plays into Trump’s narrative that the prosecution was politically motivated.
In his ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron noted that “They are accused only of inflating asset values to make more money. The documents prove this over and over again. This is a venial sin, not a mortal sin. Defendants did not commit murder or arson. They did not rob a bank at gunpoint. Donald Trump is not Bernard Madoff.”
But, he continued, “Yet, defendants are incapable of admitting the error of their ways. Instead, they adopt a ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ posture that the evidence belies. This Court finds that defendants are...

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the last remaining Republican presidential candidate running against former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, warned that Trump could use the Republican National Committee (RNC) as a “piggy bank” to pay for his mounting legal fees.
“My biggest issue is, I don’t want the RNC to become his legal defense fund,” she told CNN.
Haley’s comments came just hours after New York Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million in fines for defrauding banks and insurance companies by overstating his net worth.
New York Attorney General Leticia James brought this case and alleged that Trump had falsified financial documents to obtain loans.
A few weeks before, a jury ordered Trump to pay advice columnist E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her after he had sexually abused her.

In a significant legal setback similar to Elon Musk’s recent court troubles, former President Donald Trump finds himself embroiled in an uncertain legal battle that threatens his castaway financial empire. Earlier in 2023, a U.S. judge ordered that Elon Musk must confront a lawsuit accusing him of deceiving former Twitter shareholders by failing to promptly disclose his investment in the social media platform.

In a significant legal blow to former President Donald Trump‘s business empire, New York Judge Arthur Engoron has ordered the former president to pay a staggering $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case.
Engoron’s decision, outlined in a comprehensive 92-page ruling, comes after a months-long trial and marks a significant setback for Trump and his associates.
The case was brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in 2022 and alleged that Trump had manipulated his net worth on important financial statements to secure tax and insurance benefits falsely. These documents, which were used to obtain loans and deals by presenting the value of the Trump Organization’s assets, form the basis of the state’s claim of fraud. Engoron had already found Trump, the Trump Organization and several high-ranking executives, which included his adult sons, liable for fraud before the trial even began.

According to new findings from a financial monitor, former President Donald Trump did not disclose payments of more than $40 million to himself, undervalued the annual management costs of the Trump building by $1.6 million and waited eight months to disclose the dissolution of some of his companies.
The report was submitted by retired federal judge Barbara Jones, who is monitoring Trump’s companies during his Manhattan trial. Jones delivered the news to Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide this month how much in penalties to impose on Trump for fraudulent asset evaluation.
Engoron issued a partial summary judgment in the case in September, ruling that Trump and executives at the Trump Organization committed fraud. New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $370 million of the profits that the former president made.

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) used a new appeals court ruling made against infamous pharma fraudster Martin Shkreli to support her bid to ban former President Donald Trump from New York’s real estate industry.
In a filing last week, James’ office told Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over Trump’s civil business fraud trial, about the new appeals court ruling against Shkreli.
In this ruling, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower New York federal court’s order.
The order banned Shkreli for life from the pharmaceuticals industry due to his attempts to block competition for a drug, which he increased the price of by over 4,000% overnight in 2015.
Through his efforts, Shkreli raised the price of the antiparasitic drug Daraprim from $17.50 to $750 per tablet.

After closing arguments in the civil fraud case against Donald Trump and his company last week, the former president faces the real possibility of a $370 million penalty and potential expulsion from the New York real estate industry that solidified his reputation.
Trump attended the courtroom proceedings presided over by State Judge Arthur Engoron, who ruled that Trump could not personally deliver certain remarks due to his refusal to refrain from personal attacks throughout his presentation.
Trump defied the judge and delivered a closing statement anyway until Engoron shut him off.
The start of the courtroom session was delayed due to a bomb threat at Engoron’s residence. Surprisingly, Engoron did not address this in court.
On his way into the courtroom, Trump denied any wrongdoing to reporters and characterized the case as “election interference at the highest level.” He expressed his desire to speak in the closing arguments to highlight...

Former President Donald Trump‘s high-stakes fraud trial concluded with a dramatic turn of events in the closing arguments on Thursday when, despite strict orders from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, Trump managed to circumvent the judge’s restrictions and deliver his own summation.
Initially, Judge Engoron had denied Trump’s unprecedented request to personally address the court on Wednesday due to concerns that he would deviate from the authorized topics. However, after his legal team’s closing arguments were complete, Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, made a final plea to the judge to allow the Trump to speak.
Engoron asked Trump if he would adhere to the established ground rules, which included the restrictions that Trump must refrain from campaign-style speeches and direct attacks on individuals involved in the case. He was also forbidden from introducing any new evidence.

During a break in the closing arguments of his New York civil fraud trial, Donald Trump claimed that Attorney General Letitia James was responsible for forcing the oil and gas conglomerate ExxonMobil to leave the state and move to Texas. There is one small problem with the former president’s accusation: ExxonMobile left New York in 1989, three decades before James assumed the role of attorney general.
Speaking to reporters outside of the courtroom, Trump said James should “be criminally liable for this. She did this to Exxon, and they drove Exxon out of New York.

Donald Trump made headlines when he attended a hearing in his New York fraud trial in December.
As he spoke to reporters outside the trial, Trump celebrated the fact that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had been spared as a defendant in the case. However, his claim that he had already “won” the case in an appeals court was false.
The civil trial, presided over by New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, has already seen a summary judgment ruling against Trump that holds him liable for fraud. The current focus of the proceedings will determine the extent of punishment for the fraud committed.
The judge’s ruling, which is expected in January, could strip Trump of his New York real estate assets.

This fall, a judge ruled that New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) proved core elements of her case against former President Donald Trump, a decision that found Trump and two of his children, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. – and their businesses – liable for fraud.
Justice Arthur Engoron’s decision found Trump guilty of “repeated and persistent fraud” on his financial statements (known as SFCs) as he overvalued his properties, which enabled Trump’s company to benefit his company for millions of dollars.
Now that both sides completed their arguments in the case before the Christmas holiday, Trump is awaiting a judgment that could strip him of his entire New York City real estate empire.
The former president listed his Fifth Avenue Trump Tower residence as 30,000 square feet, although it is only 10,996. This led to an overvaluation of between $114 million and $207 million. Engoron wrote, “A discrepancy of this order of magnitude,...

A New York appeals court denied Donald Trump’s challenge of a gag order in his civil fraud case, ruling that his attorneys did not seek the proper legal remedy for overturning the ban.
Judge Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over the former president’s civil fraud case, restricted him and his attorneys from commenting on his legal staff. That followed attacks by Trump on the judge’s law clerk. Engoron eventually fined Trump $15,000 for violating the order, and extended its reach to his attorneys.
The appeals court ruled that Trump’s request for a writ of prohibition is “not the proper vehicle for challenging the Gag Order and Contempt Orders.”
“To the extent there may have been appealable issues with respect to any of the procedures the court implemented in imposing the financial sanctions, the proper method of review would be to move to

Trump Announces He Will Not Testify In His $250 Million Fraud Trial, Calling The Case A ‘Witch Hunt’
Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected announcement that he would not testify in the $250 million civil fraud trial against him and his company.
The trial, which has lasted two months, had reached its final week of testimony, and Trump was scheduled to take the witness stand as one of the defense’s final witnesses.
However, on Sunday, Trump posted to his social media site Truth Social that he had already testified to everything and had nothing more to add. He dismissed the trial as a “complete & total election interference witch hunt.”
Originally slated to resume on Monday, the trial was postponed until Tuesday by the Office of Court Administration, the administrative arm of the New York State Unified Court System. This delay allowed Trump to bypass his scheduled testimony and avoid further legal proceedings.
