Letitia James’ nitpicking over Trump bond is more spiteful nonsense
NY Post
Does state Attorney General Letitia James believe her only job is attacking Donald Trump?
Now she’s going after the ex-prez for posting the bond on the $454 million civil-fraud judgment she won against him in February, a step he must take in order to appeal.
Last week, Trump posted the $175 million bond, provided by Knight Specialty Insurance Co., to temporarily prevent James from snatching up Trump Tower and other assets (an outcome she’s been raring for since the judgment was passed down) while he continued to fight the ruling in an appeals court.
Not good enough for Tish: On Thursday, the AG’s office filed paperwork demanding that Trump or the insurer prove within 10 days that they can make good on the bond, claiming the state took “exception to the sufficiency of the surety” provided by Trump.
This does nothing except gum up the appeals process, and make Trump jump through more legal hoops — all for a civil case with no victims.
Remember: This is about whether Trump overvalued assets to acquire loans that he paid back in full.
