Ivanka Trump Denies Awareness of Decade-Old Financial Details in Father’s New York Civil Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ivanka Trump testified repeatedly that she could not recall documents and emails related to the Trump Organization when the state attorney general’s office confronted her about them during her father’s civil fraud trial in a lower Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter spent hours on the witness stand, where she denied knowledge of “granular” financial details contained in the documents while undergoing both direct questioning from Attorney General Letitia James’s team and cross-examination from her father’s defense counsel.

Her consistently measured responses stood in contrast to Donald Trump’s contentious testimony from Monday when Judge Arthur Engoron scolded the former president for giving political “speeches” instead of answering questions directly.

Ivanka Trump’s appearance comes after James alleged in a sweeping complaint last year that Donald Trump, three of his adult children, and two business partners conspired to overstate his net worth by billions of dollars over several years to secure better interest rates on loans and other favorable financial terms.

Trump to U.S.-Hating, Jihadist-Celebrating Alien Residents: ‘We Will Find You, and We Will Deport You’

/0 Comments/in , /by

American-hating alien residents who have joined pro-jihadist protests and “became very violent and started destroying our Capitol and many other places” have been put “on notice” and will be deported, former President Donald Trump said during his counter-programming rally in Hialeah, Florida.

“In Washington, DC, pro-jihadist demonstrators climbed up the fence in front of the White House … they damaged the fence and they damaged police vehicles [and] desecrated statues of Ben Franklin and other great heroes of our country, and they shouted Allahu Akbar, while calling the barbaric Hamas terrorists martyrs,” Trump said, explaining that “in times like these, you can’t afford to have a president who wants to be politically correct.”

“We have to do things properly,” Trump said.

Trump said America cannot have an administration in place that takes foreign policy advice from the likes of Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“But that’s a movement that’s growing,” Trump said, promising to restore the Trump travel ban on entry from terror-laden countries on “day one” in office. (Read more from “Trump to U.S.-Hating, Jihadist-Celebrating Alien Residents: ‘We Will Find You, and We Will Deport You’” HERE)

Shock NYT Poll: Trump Stomps Biden in 5 Swing States

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump tops His Fraudulency Joe Biden in five of six crucial swing states, per polling from the far-left New York Times. . .

The left-wing profiteers and warmongers in NeverTrump are already in a panic:

Biden (allegedly) won all five of these states in 2020, so normally, I would be pretty skeptical of an 11-point lead in a blue-ish state like Nevada. But with Nevada (and Arizona) being a border state and Biden opening the southern border to millions of unvetted illegals hailing from the third world, I’m a lot less skeptical of those results.

This polling, like all the polling that has Trump doing better this year against Biden than he ever did in 2020, shows that Biden’s un-American attempt to put Trump in prison has failed and even backfired.

“Biden is trailing Donald J. Trump in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the 2024 election, writes DNYUZ. Biden is “suffering from enormous doubts about his age and deep dissatisfaction over his handling of the economy and a host of other issues[.]”

Donald Trump Explodes on Witness Stand, Calling AG a ‘Hack,’ Accusing Judge of Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Former President Donald Trump exploded at his Manhattan civil fraud trial Monday minutes after making a zipped-lips gesture to reporters — and accused the judge who has branded him a fraudster of mounting a “fraud” himself.

“He called me a fraud and he didn’t know anything about me!” the 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner yelled — pointing at Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.

“The fraud is on the court, not on me.”

Trump’s tirade came at around noon — midway through his about four hours of testimony in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million lawsuit accusing him of inflating his wealth by billions per year to save money on loan and insurance terms.

“She’s a political hack,” Trump shouted of James, who was sitting calmly in the first row of the gallery. (Read more from “Donald Trump Explodes on Witness Stand, Calling AG a ‘Hack,’ Accusing Judge of Fraud” HERE)

Trump Lawyer: Angry Judge Was ‘Unhinged’ in Courtroom, ‘Slamming a Table’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alina Habba, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump in his New York civil case, ripped Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron as “unhinged” and said he slammed a table in court on Monday during Trump’s testimony.

Habba contended to reporters during a lunch break that Engoron “has already predetermined that my client committed fraud before we even walked into this courtroom” before quoting the justice’s remarks from earlier in the day when he was unsatisfied with Trump’s answers on the witness stand. She also took a shot at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the case against Trump and his two eldest sons.

“‘I’m not here to hear what he has to say,’” she quoted Engoron as saying.

“Then why exactly am I being paid as an attorney, and why exactly are taxpayer dollars being used in this courtroom?” she said to reporters.

“The answer is very clear: because Miss James wants to stand right here like she did this morning and call my client a liar, call the company fraudulent and make a name for herself,” Habba added from the courthouse steps.

Donald Trump Pulls Out Paper During Testimony at NYC Civil Fraud Trial, Says It’ll Clear His Name

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump randomly pulled a piece of paper out of his suit jacket during testimony in Manhattan court Monday — claiming it would completely clear his name in the $250 million civil fraud case against him and asking to show it to the judge.

The former president, 77, was apparently requesting to show both the judge and a prosecutor a disclaimer clause from a financial statement that New York Attorney General Letitia James has accused him of lying on in her lawsuit.

As he testified at trial in the suit, Trump held the document up and asked if the judge would “like to have it.”

Later, the real estate tycoon said: “I would love to read this, Your Honor, if I could?”

“Not at this point, not at this point,” replied Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron — who is deciding the non-jury case that threatens Trump’s New York real estate empire.

Former Donald Trump Appointee Sentenced to 70 Months for Role in Jan. 6 Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Trump administration official was sentenced to nearly six years in prison Friday for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in 2021.

Federico Klein, who served as a political appointee in the State Department, was arrested in March 2021 and convicted of multiple felonies and misdemeanor offenses in federal court.

He was sentenced to 70 months in prison. Prosecutors had sought 10 years and highlighted messages that suggested Mr. Klein joined the melee in the lower west tunnel of the Capitol because he wanted to continue his service to former President Donald Trump, according to NBC News.

The government also pointed to evidence that he used a stolen riot police shield in the violence and, during the fight, told officers, “You can’t stop this.”

Mr. Klein is among more than 1,000 people who’ve been arrested in connection with the assault on the Capitol, in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the building while congressional lawmakers were trying to certify President Biden’s election win.

Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused

/0 Comments/in , /by

The gag order in former President Donald Trump’s case in Washington, D.C., involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election has been paused by a federal appeals court.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay on the gag order pending an appeal, with the court also setting an expedited appeal schedule. The pause is simply an administrative stay while the court deliberates the merits of the gag order before deciding whether to leave it in place or remove it.

The gag order was reimposed on Oct. 29 after being paused during a prior appeal in response to when it was initially imposed on Oct. 17. The order prohibited parties in the case from “making any public statements, or directing others to make any public statements, that target” Smith or his staff, defense attorneys or their staff, court staff, and “any reasonably foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.”

Trump’s lawyer’s brief arguing against the gag order will be due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 8, followed by the Justice Department’s brief in favor of the gag order being due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 14, and a reply by Trump’s lawyers is due by noon on Nov. 17. The oral argument for the appeal has been scheduled for Nov. 20, at 9:30 a.m., according to the order. (Read more from “Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused” HERE)

Eric Trump Rails Against Fraud Trial, Calls It ‘Waste of Taxpayer Money’ After Testimony Ends

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eric Trump on Friday railed on the $250 million civil fraud case against his family after concluding testimony at the Manhattan trial — where he showed up in nearly identical clothes for two days in a row.

Trump, 39, testified for roughly four and a half hours spread over Thursday and Friday, when he appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court in what appeared to be the same navy suit, light blue tie, white dress shirt, brown oxford shoes and even the same printed light blue socks.

Outside the courtroom afterward, Trump blasted New York Attorney General Letitia James — who is prosecuting the case — and the judge deciding it, echoing claims by his dad, former President Donald Trump, that the trial is a political witch hunt.

“This is a big charade that is a huge waste of taxpayer money and it’s the very reason everyone’s moving out of New York state, and I was actually one of them,” Trump told a gaggle of reporters.

“It’s a joke, it’s an absolute joke,” he said, claiming James was using the case to bolster her career. (Read more from “Eric Trump Rails Against Fraud Trial, Calls It ‘Waste of Taxpayer Money’ After Testimony Ends” HERE)

Donald Trump Jr. Cracks Jokes, Draws Courtroom Laughter During 75-Minute Testimony at $250M Fraud Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump Jr. took the witness stand in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday to defend himself in the $250 million civil fraud trial that threatens his dad’s real estate empire — firing off several jokes as he denied working on the financial statements that are key to the case. . .

“I did not,” the former president’s eldest child said when asked if he had ever worked on his father’s “statement of financial condition” – documents that James alleges Trump falsified from 2011 through 2017 by pumping up his net worth to the tune of billions per year.

“The accountants worked on it, that’s what we pay them for,” Don Jr. said. . .

During the testimony — which lasted for roughly 75 minutes Wednesday and featured James observing from the front row — Don Jr. joked that he has “no understanding” of accounting lingo.

“I rely on professionals and CPAs. We pay millions of dollars and [they] have great degrees,” he said, drawing laughter from the courtroom gallery. (Read more from “Donald Trump Jr. Cracks Jokes, Draws Courtroom Laughter During 75-Minute Testimony at $250M Fraud Trial” HERE)
