  • Trump Posts Article Doxing New York Attorney General Letitia James’ Home Address

    Trump posted an article from far right personality Laura Loomer attacking New York Attorney General Letitia James with unconfirmed, speculative allegations.



    In the article shared by Trump, Loomer posted a New York City Buildings violation form exposing the home address of James. Publishing the personal contact information and/or home address of an individual is called doxing.




    In another section of article Trump amplified a loan modification document is also shared which list NY AG James’ home address.




    James, who has been the subject of Trump’s online attacks, has stated in August she has experienced death threats since starting her prosecution of Trump and is taking precautions against a possible “lone wolf”attack.

    Trump has also repeatedly attacked James on Truth Social, including called her a “racist,”

    Trump Posts Attack James




    Earlier this month, James described Trump’s comments as “fomenting violence” and “race baiting.”

    Trump is under a gag order that reportedly applies to him talking about members of Judge Engoron’s staff. Posting a link to the personal address of his prosecutor for his millions of followers to see is way out of line and puts James in danger.


    Judge Chutkan in Trump’s federal January 6th case noted she has been threatened and recently issued a gag order preventing Trump from saying derogatory statements against Jack Smith, potential witnesses or the court.

    Judge Engoron will need to consider expanding Trump’s gag order against attacks and doxing or other unsafe disclosure of personal information against James and her office.

    Trump be back in court Tuesday. This would be a great time for Engoron to address Trump’s unhinged attacks and his reckless posting of a link doxing NY AG Letitia James’ home address.

    • Judge Threatens ‘Imprisoning’ Trump for ‘Blatantly’ Violating Gag Order
      Trump’s New York AG case isn’t supposed to be a criminal case, but it may result in Trump getting thrown in jail anyway.



      The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s bank fraud trial threatened to throw the former president in jail—and hit him with punishing fines—for “blatantly” violating a gag order by refusing to delete a website post attacking court staff.

      Justice Arthur F. Engoron, striking a serious tone, began Friday at trial by laying out the high stakes and demanding that Trump’s lawyers explain themselves.

      “In the current overheated climate, incendiary comments can and in some cases already has, led to serious physical harm and worse. I will now allow the defendants to explain why this blatant violation of the gag order would not result in serious sanctions, including financial sanctions and/or possibly imprisoning him,” Engoron said.

      The case that Engoron is presiding over—Trump’s New York bank fraud trial—is a civil matter, meaning jail time wasn’t ever supposed to be in the cards, only stiff fines and a threat to ruin his real estate empire.

      But now, Trump appears to be facing a very real threat of spending time in jail if his antics continue.

      Defense lawyer Christopher Kise immediately apologized for Trump’s behavior, blaming the 2024 Republican presidential candidate’s bloated “campaign machinery” for simply forgetting to remove a webpage that mirrored the Truth Social post Trump had already deleted.

      “There was no intention to evade or circumvent or ignore the order. I assure you that. I just know that this is a very large machine and this is one of the reasons, frankly, I don't have social media,” Kise said, trying to deflect with some light humor.

      “But that’s been taken down. And we don’t have any other… there were no subsequent postings,” Kise added.

      The judge didn’t immediately accept that excuse.

      “I will take that under advisement, but… Donald Trump is still responsible for the large machine,” Engoron reminded him.

      The Daily Beast first reported that this lashing was coming Thursday night.

      The formal reprimand follows several warnings this judge has given for the out-of-control real estate tycoon—who has spent months intimidating witnesses and maligning judges and prosecutors—to not follow the same modus operandi in New York state court.

      At issue is the way that Trump managed to bungle the very start of his trial by lying about the judge’s top legal adviser. On the second day of trial earlier this month, Trump took to his Truth Social media network to share a MAGA-aligned Twitter user’s post asking, “Why is Judge Engoron's Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer?” Trump also linked to her personal Instagram page, drawing the attention of his huge fan base against her.

      On Friday morning, Engoron carefully went over what had already transpired thus far to remind Trump’s lawyers of the hot water they’re in, citing the “untrue disparaging and personally identifying post about my principal law clerk.” He also revealed what happened in his closed courtroom when reporters weren’t present.

      “I spoke to defendants on and off the record. Off the record, I ordered Donald Trump to remove the post immediately. Approximately 10 minutes later, Donald Trump represented to me that he had taken down the offending post,” he began.


      “I then, on the record, imposed on all parties to his action a very limited gag order forbidding ‘all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any members of my staff,’ emphasizing quite clearly that ‘personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,’” he recalled.

      “Despite this clear order, last night I learned that the subject of the offending post was never removed from the website donaldjtrump.com, and in fact had been on that website for the past 17 days. I understand that it was removed late last night, but only in response to email from this court,” he went on.

      Engoron, who is typically easygoing in court, was anything but while he reprimanded Trump’s legal team. His threat of sanctions and jail time shows just how seriously he’s taking the matter, given that similar behavior by the embattled former president has led to a deluge of threats against prosecutors at the New York Attorney General’s Office, the Manhattan District Attorney, the Fulton County District Attorney, and those on the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team.

        Can I buy a front row seat for a face to face with a judge?

        Sounds like I want a face to face. Judge I'm clean.

        I meant can I buy a seat to watch the event and be ringside?

          • Quash my subpoena, Ivanka Trump tells NY judge, in asking not to testify against her father.
            • Ivanka Trump has been subpoenaed to testify in her dad's ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.
            • She is fighting the subpoena, arguing through her lawyers that it is overly broad.
            • She would be asked about hundreds of millions in loans that NY alleges she negotiated via fraud.
            Ivanka Trump is fighting hard against being forced to testify against her father and brothers in the ongoing Trump civil fraud trial in New York.

            On the eve of a Friday deadline, by which she must agree to take the stand as early as later this month, her lawyer made a lengthy objection to her subpoena.

            The objection, in court papers filed late Thursday, calls the New York Attorney General's Office subpoena overly broad.

            It also accuses the AG's office of botching how it served Ivanka Trump with her subpoena, alleging a technical foul her lawyer says should invalidate her obligation to testify.

            The technical foul? Copies of the subpoena was sent to three of her corporate addresses, but not to her personally, said the lawyer, Bennet J. Moskowitz.

            "Each of these three subpoenas listed Ms. Trump's name only in the 'to' line above the LLCs' names and the names and addresses of their registered agents," Moskowitz wrote.

            "The body of the Subpoenas requested a 'personal appearance' 'to give testimony' at trial but did not identify any specific employee, officer, or director that the NYAG wanted to appear," he wrote.


            The former president's eldest daughter was originally named as a defendant in Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit, but her name was removed earlier this year.

            A state appellate panel noted that she had ceased all Trump Organization responsibilities in early 2017, when she followed her father to Washington, and so the AG's claims against her were barred under statute of limitations grounds.

            Still, she is central to the case against Trump and four of the company's longstanding executives, including her brothers Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump. These five remaining defendants and are not barred by the statute of limitations, because the AG alleges they continued a course of fraudulent action during the Trump administration and beyond.

            Ivanka was Trump Org's executive vice president for development and acquisitions through 2016. In that role, she negotiated and secured hundreds of millions of dollars in financing for Trump's properties, including the Old Post Office hotel project in Washington, DC, the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, and the Trump National Doral golf course in Miami.

            James alleges that Trump and his company used fraudulently exaggerated net-worth statements in winning favorable interest rates and other benefits from lenders, particularly Deutsche Bank, for which Ivanka Trump was her father's primary point-woman.

            • Judge Forces Trump to Testify for Insult Then Fines Him $10K



              In a shocking turn of events, the New York judge presiding over Donald Trump’s bank fraud trial ordered the former president to testify Wednesday over an insult Trump threw at the judge’s law clerk.

              After a brief testimony by Trump, Justice Arthur F. Engoron formally called him out.

              “As the trier of fact, I find that the witness is not credible, that he was referring to my law clerk, who is sitting much closer to me, who doesn’t have a barrier,” he said. “I hereby fine you $10,000, which is on the liberal side, to be paid within 30 days.”

              During a court break earlier in the day, Trump held an impromptu press conference outside the courtroom in which he complained about the “person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of [the judge],” an oblique reference to attorney Allison Greenfield, who advises the judge on this case.

              Immediately after that, Justice Arthur F. Engoron warned Trump’s lawyers that he was in clear violation of the gag order he imposed at the very start of the trial. Defense attorney Christopher Kise claimed that Trump was actually referring to the witness, Trump’s sworn enemy and former lawyer Michael Cohen. The judge said he’d take the matter under advisement.

              However, when trial continued after a lunch break, Engoron held a surprise hearing in which he ordered Trump to take the witness stand—marking the first time the real estate tycoon has done so in his ongoing legal troubles.

              After a visibly perturbed Trump was sworn in, the judge asked him who he was referring to when he directed his anger at the person sitting next to the judge who's “very partisan.”

              “Are you sure you didn't mean on the other side of me, my principal law clerk?” Engoron asked.

              “Yes actually,” Trump said, sticking to his story.

              Engoron probed further, asking Trump if he had previously refererred to his law clerk as a “partisan democrat?”

              “She may be unfair. I think she's very biased against us. I think we made that clear… we put up a picture, and you didn’t want that up… we didn’t necessarily agree with that... and we didn’t take it down,” Trump said.

              But Engoron wouldn’t buy it.

              “As you can see, my principal law clerk is very close to me,” Engoron said. “You and I see can see each other, we're close, but we're not as close, clearly. And there's a barrier between us.”

              “Don’t you always refer to Michael Cohen as Michael Cohen?” Engoron pressed on.

              “No,” Trump shot back.

              Engoron, clearly frustrated, frowned as he moved his tongue under his cheek.

              “The witness is excused, I have no further questions,” he said.

              “Thank you, sir,” Trump said, then walked out of the witness box.

              Engoron then issued his ruling, which sparked protests from defense lawyers Christopher Kise and Alina Habba.

              “I think that’s a dangerous place to go, not just with the sanction but with the trial,” Kise warned.

              The judge said he wouldn’t reconsider, and started up the trial again.

              • It is about time Trump run up against some people, face to face, who he can't intimidate. We need more of that. Unfortunately we have a lot of spinless people who want to hang onto his coattails for either profit (risky) or fame (yeah, what kind). The true believers are in it for another reason and that is to stick to all us normal Americans as they don't believe in what the word majority means.

                  Donald Trump Storms Out of Trial with Secret Service 'Chasing' Behind, Prompting Courtroom Gasps: Report
                  The former president reportedly threw his hands up, said "I'm leaving," and abruptly exited the courtroom on Wednesday after a judge denied his request to throw out his civil fraud case


                  Donald Trump stormed out of his civil fraud trial on Wednesday to courtroom gasps, moments after his former attorney Michael Cohen backtracked on earlier testimony about whether he had lied to Congress.



                  In this courtroom sketch, Judge Arthur Engoron questions former President Donald Trump on the witness stand in New York Supreme Court, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023, in New York. Engoron has fined Trump $10,000, saying that Trump violated a limited gag order barring personal attacks on court staffers

                  CNN reports that Cohen appeared to offer inconsistent testimonies this week about whether Trump directed him or former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to inflate numbers on his personal financial statements.

                  When Cohen ultimately stated that Trump never directly instructed him to inflate the value of his assets, Trump's lawyers asked for the judge to issue a directed verdict in Trump's favor on the grounds that their case had just been proved. The judge denied the motion.

                  At that point, various outlets report, the former president threw up his hands, said, "I'm leaving," and walked out of the courtroom trailed by Secret Service agents as members of the courtroom gasped.

                  One NBC News reporter described the situation on X by writing that Secret Service agents were "chasing after him" when he left the court, in a move that was described as "completely unexpected and surprising to his own attorneys."

                  Once outside, Trump told reporters, “The witness just admitted that we won the trial. And the judge should end this trial immediately.”


                  Earlier in the day, Trump was fined $10,000 by the judge in the case for violating a gag order during a break in the hearing when he spoke to reporters outside the courthouse.

                  “This judge is a very partisan judge with a person who is very partisan sitting alongside him — perhaps even much more partisan than he is," Trump said at the time — a remark the judge said was likely in reference to a clerk (which Trump disputed).

                  Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison in late 2018 after telling authorities he helped coordinate hush payments to a number of women on Trump's behalf, including to Stormy Daniels, in an effort to keep the president's past alleged affairs quiet ahead of the election.

                  The president's longtime lawyer, who represented Trump from 2006 until 2018, also pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a Russian real estate project the president was working to complete during his 2016 campaign. Trump's 2016 election bid has been investigated for alleged ties to Russian interference, which critics claim helped the president win the historic, shocking election.

                  Trump's Wednesday appearance in court comes as part of a fraud case brought against him and and senior executives at his company by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

                  The lawsuit alleges that the former president — with the help of his adult children and the executives mentioned in the filing — falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars in an effort to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms and to obtain other economic and tax benefits.

                  James' office said in a press release that "from 2011-2021, Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization knowingly and intentionally created more than 200 false and misleading valuations of assets on his annual Statements of Financial Condition to defraud financial institutions."

                  The Trumps have argued that James' investigation is politically motivated, which she has repeatedly denied.

                  In a press conference, James said she seeks to make Trump pay $250 million in fines, ban the family from operating any New York businesses in the future, and ban the former president and the Trump Organization from buying commercial real estate in New York for five years.

                  Since leaving office in 2021, the former president has been mired in a number of legal issues and investigations on various fronts, including into his political conduct and business affairs.

                  Four of those investigations have led to indictments — the first one making him the only U.S. president to face criminal charges, and the next two further distinguishing him as the only president to face federal charges.

                  • Still a big problem for the prosecution though and of course more fodder for MAGA conspiracy treadmill. Cohen recanting his evidence means he now potentially faces perjury charges relating to the 'false' information contained in his sworn affidavits (bad for him). However the prosecution is now forced to rely on the remaining witness testimony and other evidence to prove its case (bad for them). And make no mistake Cohen was an important witness.
                    If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

                      We'll see how it all plays out. I'm not convinced that Cohen's testimony is completely compromised, not yet anyway.

                      • Legal expert: Trump kids will turn fraud trial testimony into a "political spectacle"


                        Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr. look on as Donald Trump speaks during a press conference January 11, 2017 at Trump Tower in New York.

                        Former President Donald Trump’s three oldest children are set to testify next week in the $250 million civil fraud lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

                        The lawsuit accuses the former president and other defendants of committing massive fraud in New York for years by repeatedly inflating Trump’s wealth by hundreds of millions of dollars to get better terms for loans and insurance policies while building his real estate empire.

                        Prior to the trial, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump as well as the other defendants were liable for fraud and that the trial would determine how much of a penalty Trump should pay. The judge canceled Trump’s business licenses, but an appeals court paused that part of the judge’s order.

                        While Trump’s control of the companies may still be in jeopardy, there's no immediate requirement for him to dissolve the legal entities he uses to manage his properties, The New York Times reported.

                        After more than four weeks of the trial, James is planning to call Trump’s sons and his daughter Ivanka to the witness stand. Donald Trump Jr. is set to testify next Wednesday, Eric Trump on Thursday and Ivanka Trump on Nov. 3, but her lawyers may appeal to try to block her testimony. Trump himself is set to testify Nov. 6.

                        To date, sixteen witnesses have provided their testimonies in the trial. However, Gregory Germain, Syracuse University law professor, told Salon that he doesn't expect that the testimony of the Trump children to contribute to the primary issue under consideration by the judge — a central issue that revolves around determining the extent to which the Trump Organization may have benefited unjustly by using inflated financial statements to secure loans and insurance policies.

                        “I suspect that they will say that Donald was advised by experts in everything he did, and they will try to justify their valuations as statements of opinion that are not actionable,” Germain said.

                        But, for Trump, this case is not just about the remaining legal issues, he added.

                        “It's also about publicity and politics, and trying to show in the court of public opinion that the decision the judge already made was wrong and unfair,” Germain said. “So his sons' testimony is likely to be a political spectacle rather than anything relevant to the remaining legal issues.”

                        The former president himself has participated in different spectacles since the trial began. Last week, he abruptly left the trial in frustration when Engoron issued an unfavorable ruling. Trump also lashed out on his social media platform Truth Social, posting about how Ivanka was initially released from this case and complained about how he is a victim of a "Trump-hating" judge.

                        “[B]ut this Trump Hating, Unhinged Judge, who ruled me guilty before this Witch Hunt Trial even started, couldn’t care less about the fact that he was overturned,” Trump wrote. I also won on Appeal on Statute of Limitations, but he refuses to accept their decision. I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me…”

                        Within the first week of trial, Engoron issued a limited gag order against Trump, prohibiting him from making comments about individuals working on the judge's team on social media. The order came after Trump had posted an image of the judge’s clerk, Allison Greenfield, with Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, and mocked her as “Schumer’s girlfriend.”

                        While Trump’s post was deleted on Oct. 3, a version of it was displayed on the ex-president’s campaign website until last week. Engoron called the post a “blatant violation” of his gag order and fined Trump $5,000.

                        Engoron fined Trump another $10,000 after he left the courtroom on Wednesday and proceeded to tell the media that Engoron is partisan and so is the person who’s “sitting alongside him. Perhaps even much more partisan than he is,” appearing to go after Greenfield again.

                        Even though Trump tried to defend himself and said his remark wasn't about the clerk, the judge called his testimony "not credible.” Trump has paid the $15,000 in fines, but is expected to appeal the gag order, according to a court filing Friday.

                        Now, as Trump’s children are being asked to testify, things are beginning to heat up again.

                        "The fact that Ivanka was originally a defendant and is now being called as a witness might indicate some form of cooperation, but it remains to be seen what form that cooperation may take — it may be minimal, and I wouldn't expect any explosive revelations from Trump's own daughter,” Jamie White, an attorney who handles criminal defense and civil rights cases, told Salon.

                        James, who is an experienced prosecutor, would not issue “frivolous subpoenas, or bring people to the witness stand knowing they'll simply take the 5th,” White added, explaining that it would be a “waste of the prosecutor's resources.”

                        "Because Judge Engoron has already ruled that Trump is liable for fraud by falsely inflating the value of his company's properties, all that remains is to decide the penalties,” White said. “So there's no reason for Letitia James to bring the Trump children to the stand simply for purposes of showmanship. The only real question is establishing damages, and it is not unreasonable to assume that Ivanka or the other Trump children who were involved in running the family business may have that information."

                        I'm sure that Daddy has already demanded that they "FIGHT!!" whilst on the stand....even if it gets them thrown in prison for perjury (but that's only a "process" crime, so I'm sure it'll turn out OK )
                        “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

                          Trump tells judge in fraud case to leave his children alone

                          Former President Trump railed against the judge overseeing his New York civil fraud case and told him to leave his children alone, in a post early Wednesday morning.

                          He also argued that there is enough evidence for the case to be thrown out.

                          “This Rigged Trial, brought by the Racist New York State A.G. Letitia James before Trump and developer Hating Judge, Arthur Engoron, which should have never been brought in that the so-called STAR WITNESS, SleazeBag Lawyer (for many people) Michael Cohen, admitted last week on the stand that he LIED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referencing his former personal lawyer.

                          “Therefore, on that fact alone, this Fake Case should be dismissed,” he added.

                          The former president claimed in his post that the financial statements from his businesses were actually lower than the true value — contrary to some of the testimony presented in the trial. He also reiterated the defense’s argument that there was a “disclaimer clause” on the statements and that banks were paid in full.

                          “There is no Victim (except me!). Leave my children alone, Engoron,” Trump added, addressing the judge. “You are a disgrace to the legal profession!”

                          His comments come amid the ongoing civil trial brought on by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump’s businesses and his two oldest sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The case claims the family falsely inflated and deflated the value of the Trump Organization assets to receive lower taxes and better insurance coverage for years.

                          Trump Jr. is expected to take the stand in the trial on Wednesday and Eric Trump is expected to take the stand on Thursday.

                          Their testimony could provide critical insight into the company’s structure and their complicity in the alleged fraud. The two sons are executive vice presidents of the company.

                          Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, is also expected to testify in the case. She was once named as a defendant in the lawsuit, but a New York appeals court in June dismissed her from the case, arguing the statute of limitations had lapsed.

                          The former president will officially give his testimony in the trial on Monday.

                          He briefly took the witness stand last week to defend comments he made to reporters that the judge ruled violated a limited gag order. Trump was fined twice for the violations.

                              • Trump Org’s false financial statements cost banks $168M in interest: NY AG financial expert



                                The Trump Organization’s skewed statements of its financial condition may have cost banks more than $168 million in interest, according to an expert witness hired by the New York attorney general’s office.

                                Michiel McCarty, chairman and CEO at the investment bank M.M. Dillon & Co., testified Wednesday to his “lost interest calculations” for banks that handed out loans to the Trump Organization. His calculations determined that across four Trump Organization assets, banks lost out on just over $168 million in interest.

                                The assets — 40 Wall Street, Trump’s Chicago hotel, the Old Post Office-turned-hotel and Trump’s golf course in Doral, Fla. — each lost banks tens of millions of dollars in interest across nearly a decade, according to McCarty’s assessment.

                                Judge Arthur Engoron already found Trump, the Trump Organization and several executives — including Trump’s adult sons — liable for fraud before the trial began, ruling that New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) had proved the crux of her case.

                                James’s office sued Trump and the others last year, claiming the Trump Organization falsely inflated and deflated the value of its assets to receive lower taxes and better insurance coverage. Her office asked for $250 million in financial penalties and a ban on Trump and his children serving as officers or directors of New York companies.

                                The decision stripped some of Trump’s business licenses and raised the potential for him to lose control of some of his famed properties, though an appeals court halted the cancellation of Trump’s business licenses until after it hears his case.

                                McCarty’s assessment will likely be subject to a brutal cross-examination Wednesday afternoon, even though his calculation falls short of James’s $250 million estimate. The $168,040,168 figure McCarty reached could be used to determine how much money Trump and his co-defendants will be accountable for.

                                Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is expected to take the stand after McCarty’s testimony concludes.

                                Keeping multiple cooked books with different valuations for different situations has always been illegal. American courts both state and federal are full of these cases every single day of every week.

                                So, go ahead cook the books, cook your taxes and when they come after you, feel free to use "everybody does it" as a defense.
