Trump Is LASHING OUT In Court, Doxing Letitia James
New York Attorney General Letitia James is accusing Trump of fraudulently inflating his property values for appraisal.
- 9 minutes
Last night,
former President Donald Trump once
again blasted New York Attorney
General Letitia James on Truth Social.
Now, this time, he went a little further
than usual and even linked to a Substack
post by Laura Loomer that included the
home address belonging to Letitia James.
[00:00:20]
So in the post, Trump wrote the following,
her fake case against me
should be dropped immediately.
My financial statements
are extremely conservative.
So this is the civil case having
to do with financial fraud,
that's what he's referring to.
And her numbers were way off,
including the fact that she undervalued
[00:00:39]
Mar-a-Lago and Doral by million or
billions of dollars.
She also didn't reveal the 100%
disclaimer clause at the front of
the financial statements and
that she sued me after or
under the statute that was never used
before, miscarriage of justice and
[00:00:56]
election interference
all wrapped up in one.
And then he includes that link
to a Laura Loomer piece that
has all sorts of spurious
accusations against the AG,
and I'm not gonna get into
because she's decided to mix
[00:01:15]
up one person with another
person that has a similar name.
It's like a laughable report.
So, the point is,
what she put on Substack included
the home address of Letitia James.
Now, with that out of the way,
I do think it's important
[00:01:31]
to give you an update on what's been
happening with the case to begin with.
So apparently, in addition to doxxing AG,
Letitia James,
a state attorney has asked Judge Arthur
and Goren to silence Trump
[00:01:47]
after he interrupted a witness during
a heated exchange during his fraud trial.
This took place today.
Now, what happened?
Trump attorneys accused
a witness of perjury and
during which an excited Trump
interrupted the testimony and
[00:02:05]
drew an objection from Attorney for
the State Kevin Wallace.
Trump, who has been sitting at the council
table with his attorneys Chris Kise and
Alina Habba, had a noticeable response
when real estate appraiser Doug Larson
[00:02:22]
denied having conversations with Trump
Organization controller Jeffrey McConney
about the value of Trump's 40
Wall Street property in 2013.
Okay, so let's back up a little bit.
Remember, this financial fraud
case has to do with Trump and
[00:02:40]
the Trump Organization,
allegedly inflating the value of
assets fraudulently in order to obtain
insurance and loans from banks.
So that fraud would land any of us if
we are proven to have committed that
[00:02:57]
fraud in prison.
Because remember, the one crime that gets
taken very seriously in the United States
is any crime impacting financial
institutions and the elite, okay?
Now, Trump doesn't think that he should
have to abide by the same laws that you
and I have to abide by.
[00:03:12]
In the financial fraud case, the
prosecution brought forth this appraiser,
who was actually listed as the individual
who appraised various Trump properties.
Okay, so Doug Larson is his name.
[00:03:28]
His name appears across five years of
Donald Trump's financial documents
according to the records that were
entered into this civil trial.
Larson was cited in Trump Organization
documents as an expert at
valuing properties like 40 Wall Street,
Trump Tower, and
[00:03:46]
an adjoining retail space called Niketown.
Spreadsheets entered as evidence,
explicitly reference multiple phone
calls with Larson between 2013 and 2017.
So the prosecutors are like, okay,
cool, so this is the appraiser for
the properties.
He's the one listed in the documents for
these Trump properties.
[00:04:05]
So let's have him testify in this case and
hear what he has to say.
Well, Larson today testified that he
never appraised those properties.
The former president made an inaudible
comment, tapped on the table, and
conferred with his lawyers.
[00:04:21]
That prompted state Attorney Kevin Wallace
to ask Judge Engoron to tell Trump
to refrain from making comments.
Can the defendant please stop commenting
during the witnesses' testimony?
Wallace said, I believe exhortations
[00:04:36]
are audible on the side
of the courtroom as well.
Engoron, though, declined to specifically
tell Trump to refrain from commenting,
instead saying, I will ask everyone to
be quiet when the witness is testifying.
Now, this is the second time that Trump,
by the way,
[00:04:56]
has doxxed someone in recent weeks,
basically.
So that's the doxxing of
AG Letitia James home.
And recently,
he also posted the name, photo, and
private Instagram account of Judge Arthur
Engoron's personal law clerk and claimed
[00:05:13]
that she was Chuck Schumer's girlfriend,
which is a lie and completely unfounded.
But this is what Trump does,
he just engages in these intimidation
tactics because he's
committed these crimes,
and it's all being proven in real time,
and he just can't stand it.
[00:05:30]
Waz, what do you think?
>> Speaker 2: I think
the Attorney General, fortunately,
I'm pretty sure in New York State,
you guys could check,
this is allowed to walk
around with a gun and also,
she's gonna have a beautifully
detailed security.
[00:05:49]
She's gonna be straight in case any
Trump gibroni wants to come around and
try to give some problems, right?
Letitia James is gonna be fine.
It's just the idea that a former president
is engaging in the tactics of four
Chan is kind of just crazy, right?
[00:06:05]
That's just a wild thing to even
understand, as far as the property and
Trumping up, if you will, its value,
we shouldn't be surprised by that.
But you know what I find hilarious,
Anna, honestly,
[00:06:20]
Trump's corruption is the gift
that keeps on giving.
I bet you, he could find somebody
in Russia or Saudi Arabia or
any of the countless people
that he traded favors for
during his time in the administration.
[00:06:36]
That would give him the money that
he says this crap is appraised for,
particularly if he became president again.
And it's kind of crazy how self
perpetuating all of this corruption
stuff is.
>> Speaker 1: Totally and look, Trump was
far more brazen in his corruption and
[00:06:56]
far more brazen in directing official
government business to Trump properties,
while simultaneously increasing
the cost of stays at his Trump
properties when government officials
needed to stay at his hotel.
[00:07:12]
>> He blatant Palm Green.
>> Speaker 1: It was just so obvious.
It was so obvious, it's like stealing from
American taxpayers by doing that, and
everyone's just like, okay, who cares?
But I mean,
his relationship with the Saudis,
Jared Kushner's relationship with them.
>> That's the most obvious one.
[00:07:29]
We're doing all this Hunter Biden,
Hunter Biden.
I'm like, this fool took a job,
that he probably didn't deserve
in the Ukraine for
some private company, okay, cool.
Jared Kushner got security clearance,
worked for
[00:07:45]
Donald Trump's administration
in an official capacity.
He was dealing in foreign affairs,
particularly with the Saudis and
Israel, and
the minute that his administration ended,
he got an investment of over
a billion dollars from Saudi Arabia.
[00:08:03]
And, what in the hell?
>> Speaker 1: Look,
this hasn't been proven, but
there are some speculating that
Trump might have wanted all of
those classified documents in
his possession to sell them, and
[00:08:21]
make deals with foreign governments,
including possibly the Saudis.
Look, none of that's been proven, so
it would be irresponsible to
automatically assume he's guilty of that.
But, it's part of the reason why I
think the prosecution in regard to his
[00:08:40]
handling of classified and
top secret documents is important,
because what kind of favors
did he trade with the Saudis?
Aside from providing cover for
Muhammad bin Salman when he ordered
the assassination and
dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi?
[00:08:56]
Aside from that,
what else did he do for them?
I think we deserve to know.
>> Speaker 2: Look, there's this stuff,
who knows what he did for
some of these foreign powers?
God only knows at this point.
And again, just full disclosure,
this is bordering on reckless
[00:09:13]
speculation on my part Anna, but
I've talked to music industry friends.
As you know,
some rappers got pardoned by Donald Trump.
I heard those pardons were going for
about a million and a half a pop,
literally, [LAUGH].
[00:09:29]
>> Speaker 1: Does that explain Waka
Flocka Flame coming out to support Trump
recently?
Is he looking for pardon on something?
I don't know, I don't really follow
him at all, so I don't know why.
>> Who?
Waka, I think Waka is just a guy that's
just bored and
likes to have his name in the news.
[00:09:44]
I don't think he's really,
I wonder what Trump's position is on BB,
Netanyahu and Israel.
I don't think he's really read up
on those talking points yet Anna.
>> All right, we shall see.
