In a recent outburst on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of being politically biased and motivated in her investigation of his financial statements. Trump maintains that his wealth is undervalued on his conservative financial statements.
"I am worth billions of dollars more than is shown on my very conservative financial statements, the exact opposite of the A.G. witch hunt!" fumed Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
However, Trump's grievances come as he faced a setback in his attempt to overturn a gag order imposed on him during the ongoing civil fraud trial. The order prohibits him from attacking court staff. The trial, which included testimony from various parties, concluded earlier this week.
Justice Arthur Engoron, who presided over the trial, announced that oral arguments will be heard on January 11. He aims to deliver the final judgement by the end of that month.
In a separate case, a verdict is expected on Friday in the defamation lawsuit against former Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani was accused of smearing the reputations of Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss by falsely accusing them of engaging in election fraud.
The developments surrounding both Trump and Giuliani highlight the legal battles and controversies that continue to surround the former president and those associated with his administration. As these cases proceed, they are sure to impact the political landscape and the public perception of Trump and his allies.
It remains to be seen how the ongoing investigations and lawsuits will affect the political future of Donald Trump and those who supported his presidency. As the legal proceedings unfold, the public will be closely watching for any significant developments or revelations that could impact the political landscape leading up to the next presidential election.
