The former President Donald Trump wrote in one of a series of angry posts on Saturday:
“The Judge committed FRAUD in my Trial by valuing my assets at a tiny fraction of what they are really worth in order to make his FAKE CASE against me – And everyone, including his crooked and highly partisan Law Clerk, Allison Greenfield, and Racist A.G. Letitia James, knows it,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“The Judicial System in New York State is in chaos and disrepute over this horribly handled Persecution of a Political Opponent. The World is watching this illegal Witch Hunt. Engoron, James, and Greenfield should be sanctioned and prosecuted over this complete and very obvious MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!!!”
Donald Trump recently made a weekend appearance in Texas on Sunday and visited the US-Mexico border. Greg Abbott, the state’s Republican governor, endorsed him for the White House in 2024 this past week.
Mr Trump served food to members of the National Guard and others stationed at the border for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday before delivering remarks to his supporters at a rally.
The former president may still appear on the 2024 primary presidential ballot in Colorado, a state judge ruled – shutting down efforts to remove the former president by invoking the 14th Amendment.
Efforts to remove Mr. Trump from the election ballot were based on the argument that he is constitutionally disqualified from office due to his alleged involvement in the January 6th insurrection.
Recently, it was revealed that a New York judge presiding over Mr. Trump’s civil trial for fraud allegations, has denied a motion for a mistrial filed by the former President’s lawyers.
A filing from attorneys for Mr Trump and his co-defendants argued that the case was “tainted” with “tangible and overwhelming” evidence of “apparent and actual bias” from Judge Arthur Engoron and his chief clerk, who has been the subject of ongoing attacks from Trump and his allies, which prompted the judge to issue a gag order in the case that prevented parties from disparaging court staff.
In his order on Friday, Judge Engoron shot down “nonsensical” legal arguments from Mr Trump’s legal team involving his clerk, and underscored his “unfettered right” to consult with his law clerks throughout the course of a trial.
