New York Attorney General Letitia James said Donald Trump and his organization owe $463.9 million, which includes the interest on top of the $355 million. He also owes the “rape” victim with a crazy story and no evidence, E Jean Carroll, $88 million, which he has to pay for defaming her already tarnished reputation.
He has to find the money or part of it, depending on what the court determines, and put it in escrow quickly. Interest accrues daily for this bogus lawsuit. Not only that, the interest accrues while the appeals take place.
Letitia James is the top lawmaker in New York State, and she is a “communist,” partisan hack who brought a sham case against Trump with a judge whom many on the left call a communist.
Many other lawsuits were pending appeal, but Trump opted not to appeal a court’s decision that found he is not immune from civil lawsuits that blame him for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. He’ll face those also, as the left seeks to bankrupt him as they promised they would when he was president.
THE DETAILS Politico gleefully reports: In the civil fraud case, which is in New York state court, if Trump can’t post the funds or get a bond, then the judgment would take effect immediately, and a sheriff could begin seizing Trump’s assets.
The rules are different in federal court, where E. Jean Carroll’s case was determined. Carroll could pursue post-judgment discovery under the jurisdiction of the judge who oversaw the trial.
Her lawyer said he would pay. The judge used “judgment enforcement mechanisms” [liens or garnishments] to “make sure he pays.”
In all three cases, he has to put money in an escrow account with the court or get a bond while appealing the verdicts.
The judge also handicapped the Trump family by banning Donald from doing business in New York for three years and his sons for two years. Additionally, he is banned from taking out loans.
With the insane civil fraud verdict, Trump will appeal. However, Engoron gets to decide the amount to be posted or bonded. It is typically about 120 to 125 percent of the judgment amount to account for additional post-judgment interest that accrues during the appeal.
The Interest Will Continue Daily “Tish” James said the interest payments totaled $99 million and would “continue to increase every single day until it is paid.”
Trump owes another $110,000 for refusing to comply with a subpoena in the civil fraud case and $15,000 for repeatedly disparaging the judge’s law clerk in violation of a gag order. As part of Friday’s ruling, the judge also ordered both of Trump’s sons to pay $4 million apiece. Last month, Donald Trump was ordered to pay nearly $400,000 in legal fees to The New York Times after suing the newspaper unsuccessfully. He is currently appealing a judgment of $938,000 against him and his attorney for filing what a judge described as a “frivolous” lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
The appeal in Trump’s civil fraud case will go before an intermediate-level court first. If it returns an unfavorable ruling, Trump could try to get the case taken up by New York’s top appellate court, though legal experts say that is unlikely. Trump has already deposited $5 million owed to Carroll for the first defamation case into a court-controlled account, along with an additional $500,000 in interest required by New York law. Carroll will not have access to the funds until the appeals process plays out.
According to WBALTV, in 2021, Trump had $300 million in cash but has since sold his New York golf course and his D.C. hotel. He also has a nearly $4 billion windfall from the merger of his Truth Social platform.
Communist New York Communist New York is a dystopian hellhole of corruption. It’s not safe to do business here, especially if you are in real estate. The way the laws are twisted, the powers that be can put you in jail or bankrupt you with any arcane law or distorted law they want whenever they want. Not guided by morals or laws, they are very dangerous. If they can do this to a very wealthy former president, they can do it to anyone.
The communist Democrats will rue the day they pursued this against a political opponent because one day, they, too, will be a victim. Laws apply to everyone or no one.
Alan Dershowitz says New York is in the habit of making up laws now. He can’t figure out where this disgorgement number came from. There are no victims to use to come up with figures. It’s only an effort to punish Trump. The judge exaggerated the harm and diminished the value of the Trump properties.

Well, I sure as hell wouldn't send money to some shady crowdsourcing site. Who's to say Trump will see a penny of the now $170k that some lady in Florida has raised in his name?
Or who's to say she's not going to keep 50% of the take for "administrative costs"?
Eng-moron is a devout commie. He's proved that over and over again. He was chosen because he would reliably dictate a guilty sentence for Trump before the case ever came up. There are so many technical flaws here, first of all a total lack of a crime. I am hoping the Supreme Court can deliver an actual just verdict that puts Eng-moron and Letitia James in prison for trying to use the law for purely political purposes.
Correct.
I think SEC report.
Does anyone know where to send regular money donations that only go to Trump?
Thank you for posting this.
I was going to ask about Go Fund Me.
I suppose you could send it certified mail to Mar A Largo.
And, I have no doubt, that many more already in New York City are now planning to move instead of “thinking about it”.
Engoron just caused hundreds if not thousands of families incredible financial pain.
It’s time for the Siege of NYC. I hope the truckers who are refusing to deliver to NYC hold firm, and that all other patriotic truckers refuse as well. The denizens of New York deserve to starve to death for the abject evil they support. This is war, real war, and our side needs to finally engage post haste. As for any remaining conservatives living there, they’ve had fair warning and should have gotten out long ago.
I unfortunately live in what has become deep blue Colorado, but I’m planning my exit after more than 45 years here. Americans need to consolidate in the red states and use our dominance of this nation’s food and energy production to leave the anti-Americans in the blue states starving and freezing in the dark. The absolute evil of what the left is subjecting Trump (and others) to, and their demonic glee at what they are doing, should be the final proof any doubter needs that we cannot defeat this evil with talking and votes. While we must still do everything in our power to get Trump elected, that alone will never even come close to saving the country. Even if Trump returns to the White House, any chance at victory over the anti-American evil will depend far more upon US than upon Trump. Every one of us should be taking any opportunity within our power to resist the Leftist evil at every turn, no matter the personal sacrifice necessary to do so.
As I hinted above, notions that our national divide is between Republican and Democrat, or Conservative and Liberal are obsolete. This divide is now fully between Americans and anti-Americans, between those who support America as it was founded, and those who seek to destroy it and replace it with something entirely foreign. There can be no compromise or reconciliation between those two groups, only total victory by one over the other. The Left certainly understands this and is fully engaged. They will do literally anything, including killing any of us without even blinking, to retain and expand their power. We had better wake up and defeat the Left while this is still nominally a Cold War, or we will be faced with a very hot one (or just capitulation and eternal slavery, if everyone wants to sit around in denial).
Texas finally cracked the door a hair to what needs to be done by defying the feds regarding the border, but now that our “justice system” has abandoned even any pretense of justice and is reveling in its despotism, the time is very short to mount a full resistance to the building tyranny. ALL American (red) states should immediately begin the shipping siege I mentioned of the anti-American states, and should also announce immediate defiance of all unconstitutional federal dictates. The federal government, as well as the anti-American states, should be declared tyrannical and an enemy of the people, per the spirit of the principles contained in the Declaration of Independence. I don’t know what those so deep in denial of the lateness of the hour are waiting for. What magical event do you believe is going to occur to stop this evil and make it just go away? THEY have all the political and administrative power, and they are racing to use it to enslave all of us before we can wake up and stop them. It’s very simple: We had better win that race or we’re finished.
Yes, we did that when the war was WON. But at the start, we prayed for courage and victory, and then we marched into battle. THAT is where we are today, so we need to be praying for the courage to fight this evil, and God’s strength and protection, and then we need to actually engage in the battle.
Not “ridiculous”, EVIL. When I see words constantly used by our side that are wholly inadequate to describe the depth of the depravity we are facing, I know that those who utter them are in denial about where we are on the road to oblivion. I don’t recall the Bible describing any of Satan’s actions as “ridiculous.” Well we are literally facing Satan himself in the form of these maniacal Leftists, so we had better snap out of “ridiculous” and “sad” and become sober-minded about what we’re facing and especially about the level of resistance that will be required to defeat it.
Excellent post. I agree with what you say.
The corruption is out of control in the government. Truman took control and ended Japan’s plan to have America.
We have to stop nibbling at the cat.. Trump knows how to take charge and stop the nonsense..
