‘The Donald Trump Show Is OVER’: New York AG Letitia James Declares, ‘I Will Not Be Bullied!’
New York Attorney General Letitia James declared, “The Donald Trump Show is over,” Wednesday shortly after the former president railed against her and Judge Arthur Engoron while on his way out of the Manhattan courthouse.
I’m here, stuck here, and I can’t campaign. I would rather be right now in Iowa. I’d rather be in New Hampshire or South Carolina, or Ohio or a lot of other places, but I’m stuck here because I have a corrupt attorney general and the judge already knows what he’s going to do. He’s a Democrat judge. In all fairness to him, he has no choice. He has no choice. He’s run by the Democrats.
James addressed Trump’s tirade after he departed for Florida:
Mr. Trump’s comments were offensive. They were baseless. They were void of any facts and/or any evidence. What they were were comments that unfortunately fomented violence, comments that I would describe as race-baiting. Comments, unfortunately, that appeals to the bottom of our humanity…I will not be bullied. And so Mr. Trump is no longer here. The Donald Trump show is over.
Engoron imposed a partial gag order on Trump Tuesday, after the former president attacked the judge’s law clerk on Truth Social and in campaign emails. The gag order did not apply to today’s comments about James or the judge.
Trump attended three days of the trial and has repeatedly claimed he’s being “taken off the campaign trail” by being forced to attend, which is patently false. The former president is not legally compelled to attend the court hearings until he testifies in his civil fraud case, which he has called a “sham.”
James is seeking $250 million and assurances that neither Trump nor his adult sons will be able to conduct business in New York in the future.
Before the trial began, Judge Engoron ruled that Trump and his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. did commit business fraud. The trial is still necessary, however “to decide the scope of the penalty plus six remaining causes of action alleged by the New York attorney general,” ABC News reported. Trump is appealing the pretrial ruling.
