Former President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated on Thursday that should be entitled to compensation for alleged damages caused during the criminal proceedings against him for fraud in New York, and pointed directly to Attorney General Letitia James.
“She should be held criminally responsible for this. “We should be entitled to compensation for damages,” the Republican declared outside the courtroom, where his legal team presented their final arguments in the trial, after Judge Arthur Engoron prohibited the politician from defending himself. and, somehow, turned the case into a political rally.
On his social network Truth, the potential candidate for the United States presidential election for the Republican Party, stated: “The people who witnessed the judicial process were surprised and the silence order that was imposed on me made it impossible to say certain things that should be said. But who knows? Maybe the judge will do the right thing, which is the exoneration and compensation for damages awarded to me for the witch hunt in which Letitia James and her thugs They have put me and our country through.”
The president also said that his expert in the trial “is one of the most responsible and respected” in the United States and that, in addition, “he is sought by many and “was used by the attorney general of New York, the crazed lunatic Letitia James.”

“After many months of investigating my financial statements and almost everything else, he found ‘zero evidence of accounting fraud, zero.’ He said few people could have gone through such a test and ended up with that result.“he assured.
Donald Trump claimed that another expert said that he “he must be one of the most honest people there is” to read “millions of pages of analysis” and not find any irregularities. “In any case, the judge had fun sarcastically ridiculing my experts, even on a personal level, but it was totally unable to use facts, statistics or analysis, because my financial statements were very solid, maybe better than anyone else in the country actually,” he added.
The former president of the United States, his two oldest children and two former employees of the Trump Organization They are accused of inflating the value of their properties. In this case, the New York attorney general asked that the magnate pay $370 million in compensation, in addition to being prohibited from doing business in the state.
In his statements to the press, after leaving the trial, he accused the Democratic president Joe Biden and the prosecutor (also a Democrat) Letitia James of create civil and criminal legal problems against him with the aim of removing him from the presidential race.
“My legal problems, every one of them, civil and criminal, are all created by Joe Biden. “I am being persecuted by someone who is running for office,” expressed the American tycoon.
The decision on the fraud trial against Donald Trump could be known after January, when Judge Arthur Engoron commented that there are no guarantees that it will be fulfilled this month.
