The campaign of former President Donald Trump railed against claims that he is struggling to pay his $464 million bond in his New York civil fraud case.
A report from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday night said Mr. Trump was in “panic mode” seeking wealthy donors and considering selling some of his assets to meet the deadline of his bond payment — March 25.
“These baseless innuendos are pure bull——,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “President Trump has filed a motion to stay the unjust, unconstitutional, un-American judgment from New York Judge Arthur Engoron in a political Witch Hunt brought by a corrupt Attorney General.”
“A bond of this size would be an abuse of the law, contradict bedrock principles of our republic, and fundamentally undermine the rule of law in New York. President Trump will continue fighting and beating all of these Crooked Joe Biden-directed hoaxes and will Make America Great Again,” he said.
Judge Engoron ordered Mr. Trump to pay $355 million plus interest, which has amounted to over $450 million and grows each day after he concluded that the former president and his oldest sons lied to banks about the value of their properties.
