(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Radical New York Attorney General Letitia James will not leave President-elect Donald Trump alone as she remains unyielding in rejecting Trump’s plea to vacate a $486 million civil fraud judgment.
Donald Trump faces yet another challenge as Letitia James stands firm on a $486 million fraud judgment.
Despite skirting accountability in various federal criminal cases, Trump now battles hefty fines and the relentless pursuit of the New York Attorney General.
The accusation: Trump and company executives inflated assets to secure advantageous loan terms.
Deputy Solicitor General Judith Vale has made it clear: “Presidents do not have immunity from civil lawsuits arising from unofficial conduct, and such lawsuits may proceed while the President is in office.”
However, Trump’s legal counsel, John Sauer, claimed these legal entanglements impede Trump’s presidential duties, though Vale dismissed these arguments as baseless.
James’ decision underscores the assertion that no individual is above the law, not even a former president.
With Trump’s appeal seeing a reduced bond aimed at delaying the judgment, the state’s appeals court remains undecided.
While Trump denies any wrongdoing and criticizes the case as politically motivated, the evidence presented seems compelling enough to support the court’s fraud findings.
“This Office will not stipulate to vacate the final judgment against Trump and his company or otherwise seek to dismiss the action,” lawyer for James’ office said.
The legal battle extends into a broader political theater, as Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung labeled James’ actions a “baseless, discredited witch hunt.”
Within this high-stakes landscape, questions arise regarding the balance of justice and politics, especially as Trump calls for the nation’s partisan strife to cease amidst these ongoing legal battles.
Furthermore, Trump’s refusal to back down only amplifies the drama, demonstrating his intent to fight this judgment and other legal challenges.
Letitia James has expressed her readiness to confront a potential second Trump administration, further cementing her commitment to standing tall against what she sees as an affront to truthful business practices.
As Trump contemplates his legal future, the implications for his political ambitions and reputation are critical.
With the appeals court yet to issue a decision, all eyes remain on how this unprecedented legal confrontation unfolds.
