Don't trust Trump's 'impossible' appeal bond claims, attorney general tells judges
KEY POINTS
- Donald Trump should have pledged real estate to the courts if he were "truly unable" to secure a bond, the New York attorney general's office said.
- Instead, Trump claimed it was "impossible" for him to get a bond using his properties, but did not provide any hard evidence for this, the AG's office said.
Donald Trump should have pledged real estate he owns as collateral against a $464 million business fraud judgment if he were "truly unable" to secure an appeal bond for that amount, the New York attorney general's office said in a court filing Wednesday.
Trump also failed to provide evidence supporting his claim this week that it was "impossible" to obtain an appeal bond by using the properties as collateral, a lawyer for AG Letitia James wrote.
"Defendants supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered" to potential insurers," wrote Dennis Fan, senior solicitor general in the AG's office, in the filing to Manhattan appeals court judges.
Nor did they report "on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why" bond insurers "were unwilling to accept the assets."
His son, the dumb one, said they get all the money they need for funding out of Russia. Who do you think orchestrates that funding?
You'll have to be more specific.
