Former President Donald Trump said Friday the New York courts are trying to take nearly a half-billion dollars in cash that he stored away for his presidential campaign.
Mr. Trump made the wealth claim on Truth Social, days after his lawyers said the former president couldn’t satisfy a $464 million bond while he appeals a business-fraud judgment against him.
“Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Mr. Trump wrote, using all-caps for emphasis. “The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number.
