Donald seems more rattled by this than his criminal cases, so he must have a lot to hide concerning his finances, which the receiver is still going through. The Judge ordered Trump to disclose his secret equity partners, I dunno if Trump complied yet. He seems upset about something, he transferred ownership of Mar A logo to Don Jr, but he is in the dock too and personally liable like Trump. It's a business owned by a corporation and the Florida homestead law applies to personally owned residences. I don't know if Donald owns any property himself, everything was company owned to avoid taxes, taxes he has been sued for, they are just totaling up the bill now.Trump calls New York judge a ‘nut job’ for ruling requiring Ivanka to testify
Former President Trump again attacked the New York judge presiding over his civil fraud trial, calling him a “nut job” for ruling that his daughter Ivanka Trump must testify in the case.
In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump called the judge “Trump hating,” and “unhinged.”
“I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me,” Trump said. “This case should have never started, but now must be dismissed.”
Judge Arthur Engoron ruled this week that Ivanka Trump must testify in the case, despite being dropped as a defendant early on in the legal progress. Trump and his two sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are expected to take the stand next month.
Ivanka Trump’s legal team argued that prosecutors don’t have the jurisdiction to subpoena her.
“Ms. Trump is not a party in this action. Nor is Ms. Trump a New York resident,” her attorneys wrote. “It is black-letter law that, given those two facts, Ms. Trump is beyond the jurisdiction of this Court.”
The sweeping fraud case accuses Trump and his sons of intentionally manipulating the worth of their business assets in order to get better terms on loans and insurance.
Engoron previously ruled that the fraud occurred, and the trial is set to determine damages. Prosecutors are seeking at least $250 million in financial penalties and to ban the three men from running businesses in New York.

Trump says he has $100M in legal fees amid cascade of court battles
Former President Trump said in Iowa that he has more than $100 million in legal fees as he faces a cascade of court battles.
In a speech to supporters in Sioux City, Iowa, Trump claimed he lost billions of dollars going into politics and lamented the cost of his legal fees.
Trump claimed he turned down multiple opportunities to make money during his presidency because, he said, it would be a conflict of interest, and “I have too much respect for the office.”
“It’s cost me a couple of billion dollars to be a politician. Everyone else makes, they make [money]. I said, ‘No, we can’t do that.’ I could have made a fortune. The countries are coming [and saying,] ‘We’d like to build a job and we’d like to have you involved.’ Billions. I say, I tell my kids, ‘Sorry, kids, we can’t do it. I’m president. I respected the office,” Trump said.
“And of course, then they made it much worse with legal fees. I have $100 million worth of legal fees,” Trump said. “And they’re doing good. At least I have good lawyers, because you can spend 100 million and have lousy lawyers too. It happens.”
Trump’s comments come as he faces several civil and criminal cases. The cases have flooded his calendar as Trump presses on in his campaign for president.
The four criminal cases against Trump include two federal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who charged Trump with 37 felony counts related to his retention of classified documents and refusal to hand them over. The second case charges Trump with four felonies stemming from his efforts to stay in power after the 2020 election.
Trump was also charged in two state criminal cases – one in Georgia, where Trump faces 13 charges in a RICO case related to his efforts to overturn the election results in that state.
In New York, Trump faces 34 felony counts related to his alleged falsifying of business records in connection to a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
This past week, Trump has voluntarily appeared in court related to a separate case in New York related to allegedly fraudulent business practices.

Wait, "I respected the office..."?

Like the last lawyers you chose to believe instead of the ones that told you the truth about the election?
I am your retribution."I'm coming after you."
Trump pledges to direct ‘completely overhauled DOJ’ to probe DAs and AGs
Former President Trump pledged Sunday to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ), should he be elected president in 2024, to probe “radical” attorney generals (AG) and district attorneys (DA) and stressed his plan to “completely overhaul” the department.
In a speech to supporters in Iowa, Trump said he would specifically target officials who are practicing “reverse” racism.
“To stop the Marxist prosecutors who release rapists and murderers while persecuting Republicans, conservatives and people of faith like you,” he said, “I will direct a completely overhauled DOJ to investigate every radical DA and AG in America for their illegal, racist-in-reverse, enforcement of the law.”
Trump also pledged to create “a Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” which Trump said will “shed some light on every dark and rotten corner of Washington, D.C., starting with crooked Joe Biden,” adding, “and now we could really do that because they’ve led the path, what they’re doing is so bad to this country.”
Trump has frequently threatened to investigate officials whom he claims are corrupt or whom he claims are targeting him for political purposes. He has also outlined plans to limit the bureaucratic guardrails and increase the president’s authority and power to direct independent agencies as he sees fit.
He has also said in the past that he would investigate President Biden if he returns to the White House. Trump currently is the leading 2024 presidential GOP candidate, but he faces more than 90 charges across four criminal indictments against him.

He still hasn't learned that indictments require evidence, like the mountain of it against him, he already tried to jail Biden and any other opposition the last time he abused power. His disqualification bench trial starts tomorrow in Colorado and the NY civil case seems to be moving along faster than most thought with a dollar amount well before December. Almost all the witnesses against Trump for his trials over J6 are republicans, many who worked for him, the same is unlikely to happen to Biden.Trump in Iowa says indictments allow him to retaliate against Biden
Former President Trump said Sunday the federal indictments he faces will allow him to retaliate against President Biden if he beats the incumbent in the 2024 presidential election.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters in Iowa on Sunday, Trump railed against the criminal justice system and accused the Justice Department under Biden of “cheating” and of targeting him for political purposes — an unsubstantiated claim Trump has made frequently.
Trump compared the Biden administration to leaders of “banana republics.”
“They brought our country to a new level, and, but that allows — think of this — that allows us to do it to Biden, when he gets out,” Trump said to roaring applause from the audience. “And that would be very easy.”
Trump then tempered his threat, saying, “But I don’t want to do it. You know, once you, once you do that, you’ve set yourself on a very downward, very bad path. Very bad path, but a thing like this has never happened before.”
Trump also suggested he could have gone after Biden when he was in office, but he said he didn’t because “I had too much respect for the office to hit Joe Biden,” even though Trump said Biden was “the most incompetent president, the most corrupt president, the worst president we’ve ever had. Those are tough words.”
“And I would never have done that until they did something that’s never been done. They indicted a former president,” Trump added. “And the only reason they indicted me is that we’re leading him in the polls. We’re killing them.”
Trump currently faces charges in two federal criminal cases, two state criminal cases and in civil suits. While Trump has claimed the investigations into his actions were a result of his entrance into the 2024 presidential election, he was already under investigation when he announced he would run for president again.
Trump is the leading 2024 GOP candidate, but his jam-packed legal calendar throughout the next year raises some questions about his political fate.
