Former President Donald Trump expressed consternation over his “beautiful and wonderful daughter” testifying in the fraud trial against Trump and his business on Wednesday, accusing New York Attorney General Leticia James of improperly attempting to drag Ivanka Trump into the case.
A little after midnight, just hours before his daughter was scheduled to take the witness stand, Trump vented on Truth Social
Tomorrow my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Ivanka, is going to the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, at the direction of Letitia Peekaboo James, the Corrupt and Racist New York State Attorney General, who has allowed Murder and Violent Crime in New York to flourish, and a Trump Hating, out of control Clubhouse appointed Judge, Arthur Engoron, who viciously ruled against me before the trial even started, wouldn’t even consider a Jury, and said that Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, is worth $18,000,000 when, in fact, it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. Other properties likewise. Based on this information, which is so ridiculous, he said that I was a Fraud, when in fact it is Letitia James and the Judge who are Fraudulent for setting such LOW VALUATIONS in order to undermine and discredit my Financial Statements, thereby making me look bad – Election Interference! Now they are trying to bring Ivanka into the case, despite the Court of Appeals ruling that she cannot be charged. Sad!
The former president is alleged to have exaggerated the worth of his flagship business, the Trump Organization, in order to secure loans and other financial benefits. Ivanka Trump was the executive vice president for development and acquisitions at the Trump Organization, but was dropped as a defendant in James’s civil suit against Trump in June when an appeals court ruled that she was not eligible to be sued.
Outside of the courthouse on Wednesday James predicted that the former first daughter would attempt to “distance herself from the company, but unfortunately the facts will reveal that in fact she was very much involved.
