New York Attorney General Letitia James can target any of former PresidentĀ Donald Trumpās assets from āacross the worldā in order to pay the $454 million judgment he owes, according to lawyer Renee Zaytsev on Saturday.
In February, JudgeĀ Arthur EngoronĀ ordered Trump to pay $355 million, plus interest, and barred him from doing business in New York for three years after finding him liable for financial fraud in September 2023 in a lawsuit brought on by Jamesā office. Trump, the presumed GOP presidential nominee in the 2024 election, has claimed that he has done nothing wrong and that the case is politically motivated against him. He has appealed Engoronās judgment.
Meanwhile, the former president has until Monday to come up with a $454 million bond to stop James from seizing his assets in order to pay Engoronās judgment.
MSNBCās Katie Phang asked Zaytsev onThe Katie Phang ShowĀ on Saturday about what James could do if Trump canāt come up with the bond.
Scotland absolutely fucking hates Trump so I think they would be very happy to overcome the legal friction with the sale of his Scottish courses if it came to that.
But I think most likely sheāll target US properties & assets first for obvious reasons, in her own state first but anywhere is fair game - a judgement in state of New York is enforceable anywhere even if there are requirements and legal effort to ādomesticateā it to target state to enforce it. I will be very amused if Mar a Lago is seized though knowing Trump heāll try to pretend the thing is his āhomesteadā despite it having non-residential status and he himself only living there through a loophole.
I really hope she goes after Mar a-Lago, and is successful.
Yeah I remembered the Scots came up with some high grade protest signs. A google image search for āanti trump sign Scotlandā give some real winners. My favourite
have the state declare that the golf courses have a fair market value of 2 dozen haggis.
