โ€˜These are corrupt people, they shouldnโ€™t be allowed to do what they do.โ€™

Outside Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump blasted New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron after he was found in a civil fraud case to be liable for fraud.

โ€œI paid over $100 million in taxes and they want me out,โ€ President Trump said, claiming businesses are being run out of New York because of corrupt officials. โ€œThese are corrupt people, they shouldnโ€™t be allowed to do what they do.โ€

โ€œA fine of $355 million for doing a perfect job!โ€ he said. He said the banks and insurers he worked with, which Ms. James accused him of defrauding, made great profits and were very happy with his business.

Friday afternoon, Justice Engoron issued a verdict in the multimillion dollar fraud case that also banned President Trump from doing business in New York for three years, and installed an independent monitor and a compliance officer in Trump Organization to continue to provide oversight of financial operations.

Alina Habba, attorney for President Trump, immediately issued a statement about their intention to appeal.

She said the verdict was โ€œmanifest injusticeโ€”plain and simple.โ€

โ€œGiven the grave stakes, we trust that the Appellate Division will overturn this egregious verdict and end this relentless persecution against my clients,โ€ Ms. Habba stated.

Trump: โ€˜We Built a Great Companyโ€™

President Trump defended Trump Organization, which is not a corporation but an umbrella name for a collection of businesses and holding companies. He joined the family real estate company in 1968 and began leading it in 1971, later renaming it to Trump Organization. After President Trump took office, he handed leadership of the company over to his two adult sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who were also named as defendants in the fraud case.

โ€œWe built a great company, there was no fraud, the banks all got their money, 100 percent, they love Trump, they testified that Trump is great, great customer,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd the judge does that. The judge is a corrupt person.โ€

โ€œThis judge thought Mar-a-Lago was worth $18 million when itโ€™s worth anywhere from 50 to 100 times that amount,โ€ President Trump said.
