Donald Trump posts rant about daughter Ivanka being ordered to testify in trial, trolls ask 'does he ever stop whining'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former president Donald Trump has put up a wordy rant on his social media platform, Truth Social, ahead of his eldest daughter's testimony in the civil fraud trial against him.
Ivanka Trump is set to appear in court on November 8 as a witness in a $250 million lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which accuses Trump of filing fraudulent financial statements to inflate the value of some of his properties and assets.
The lawsuit originally named Ivanka along with her father, brothers Eric and Donald Jr, as well as executives at the family real estate company The Trump Organization. She was later dismissed in June as a result of the statute of limitations for most of the allegations against her.
Judge Arthur Engoron, whom Trump attacked in his post, ordered Ivanka to testify after being subpoenaed by James' office. Her appeal attempt to block the scheduled testimony has failed.
Ivanka's father and brothers have already taken the stand as part of the civil fraud trial, and have denied all wrongdoing in connection to James' suit, reported Newsweek.
What did Donald Trump post 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," Trump began.
"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," he added.
The rant continued, "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!"
