Donald Trump Slams NY AG Letitia James Over Civil Fraud Trial: 'I Have TOTALLY WON THIS CASE ... She Should Be Prosecuted!'

Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to assert his triumph in his fraud case, a claim that starkly contrasted with the court's decision.

What Happened: In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump called for an end to what he described as a "ridiculous Political Witch Hunt" against him. He accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of fraudulently undervaluing his Mar-a-Lago property to hurt his financial reputation.

“Judge Engoron should end the ridiculous Political Witch Hunt against me,” Trump said in the post. “I have TOTALLY WON THIS CASE, which should never have been brought. The only Fraud was committed by A.G. Letitia James in convincing the Judge that Mar-a-Lago was only worth $18,000,000 (in order to make my “numbers” look bad), when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. She campaigned on ‘getting Trump.’ She should be prosecuted!”

Trump's proclamation comes after a ruling that found him and his organization guilty of fraud. Judge Arthur Engoron had earlier determined that the Trump Organization, helmed by Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, had engaged in deceptive practices with financial institutions and insurers by inflating asset values.

The civil lawsuit, initiated by James, seeks a hefty sum of $250 million in damages and aims to bar the Trumps from conducting business in New York.

This week also witnessed testimony from Ivanka Trump in the ongoing case. The case continues to evolve, with the final decision on damages still pending.
