#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, legal adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.
#Trump's bitter about being hauled into court to face his NY felony charges, so he decided to cosplay as the President to soothe his burns. He invited the former prime minister of Japan to #TrumpTower to take a photo of him presenting the Japanese politician with a golden key to the #WhiteHouse. Trump isn't president. He's a basic citizen with no access to the White House, or its keys. This is completely made-up bullshit.
🤭👉🏼 “#Trump offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.
..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.” #legal
Trump gripes trial is 'unfair' after judge's #GagOrder
(it was just in regards to the judge’s staff.)
After the trial wrapped up yesterday, Trump aired his #grievances in a post on his social media platform, saying the trial is “unfair” & again suggesting it was an attempt to interfere w/his presidential campaign.
Under questioning by #Suarez, #Bender said he "may" have consulted w/specialists on the estimated current value of some #Trump properties.
Suarez then played a bit from Bender's earlier #deposition, where he said he had not done so.
He then tried to get him to admit that discounted projections of cash flows from the use an asset can be used in estimating its current value, & pressed him on valuations of various Trump properties, including #TrumpTower & #MaraLago.
Gegen Ex-Präsident Trump beginnt heute - wieder mal - ein Prozess. Es geht um Trumps Immobilien und den Vorwurf des Betrugs. Gefängnis droht ihm nicht, er könnte aber unter anderem den Trump Tower in New York verlieren. Von Antje Passenheim.
Orig Bonwit Teller limestone reliefs was promised to the #metropolitanmuseumofart then they were destroyed around 1980
#Trump (John Baron) said his company had obtained three independent appraisals of the sculptures, which he claimed to be "without artistic merit"
⭕MMA replied "Can you imagine the museum accepting them if they were not of artistic merit? Architectural sculpture of this quality is rare and would have made definite sense in our collection."
Remember that time #Trump ghoulishly claimed he was at #GroundZero, helping in the aftermath of 9/11 when, in fact, he the never left #TrumpTower, from which he unlawfully applied for and received money that was intended to help small businesses that were directly impacted by the #terrorist attack? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Business jet owned by Aman Resorts & CEO Vladislav Doronin has been grounded since November. The jet is operated and managed by Malta- and Russia-based Emperor Aviation, sanctioned because it coordinated travel for relatives of Suleiman Kerimov.
The sanctions are not directly tied to Doronin and Aman; however, the Bombardier Global Express aircraft has been on OFAC’s “Specially Designated Nationals” list for nearly nine months.
#EJeanCarroll v #Trump trial resumes. Remember, I’m quoting @KlasfeldReports, Matthew Russell Lee, occasionally Lisa Rubin, so I may get redundant when 1 add some new detail but I post all of their reporting. All credit goes to them, not me. #legal
