Former President Trump and his legal team aren’t holding back in their fierce battle against woke New York Attorney General Letitia James’ ridiculous attempt to snatch Mar-a-Lago in her politically driven lawsuit against the Republican stalwart. Trump’s tenacious lawyer Clifford S. Robert fired off a scathing letter to the Appellate Division of New York’s Supreme Court, denouncing James’ demand for a staggering $464 million bond as “unfair, unjust, and totally against the Constitution.”
Robert passionately argued that forcing Trump to cough up such a colossal bond or sell off his beloved Mar-a-Lago before his appeal is decided would cause “irreparable harm” to the former president. He lambasted James and the New York Supreme Court for trying to impose a “completely illogical” and “patently unreasonable” bond condition, which he contended would lead to irreparable damage and shut down any chance of reviewing the court’s flawed decision.
The Attorney General’s claim that Trump should offload his iconic billion-dollar real estate holdings in a “fire sale” was met with utter contempt by Trump’s legal team. They weren’t shy about pointing out that the Attorney General didn’t even bother to dispute the truth of the specific claims made by the defendants’ witnesses. It’s crystal clear to those in the know about real estate and sureties that James’ demands are beyond the pale.

Not to be outdone, James had previously threatened to seize Trump’s assets if he couldn’t pony up the bond. But Trump’s attorneys weren’t about to take that lying down. They vehemently argued that the former president shouldn’t be shackled with posting a bond while he’s fighting the outcome of his recent civil business fraud trial. And let’s be real here, Trump rightly deemed the judgment requirement as “crazy,” rightly pointing out that selling off assets and then winning the appeal would mean those assets would be lost for good.
Robert didn’t hold back, bolstering his arguments by citing numerous editorials that slammed James’ demands as nothing but political ploys to keep Trump out of the 2024 ballot. And to add insult to injury, Judge Arthur Engoron also upped the ante by giving the monitor even more authority over Trump’s assets, essentially requiring the company to keep the watchdog in the loop about any efforts it makes to receive the bonds. But alas, the appeals court has at least put a temporary stop to the judgment orders that bar Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. from continuing to run the company.
