NEW DELHI: Former President Donald Trump criticized the judge who ordered him with to pay a fine of $355 million in New York civil fraud trial. The Republican also went after the prosecutors with cases against him.
Trump termed the decision as “a lawless and unconstitutional atrocity that sets fire to our laws like no one has ever seen in this country before.”
He called the judge in the case, Arthur Engoron, “crooked,” and New York Attorney General Letitia James, a “lunatic.” Additionally, he called special counsel Jack Smith “animal,” while mocking the pronunciation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ name.
As the former President campaigned in Michigan he is facing fine that could exceed half-a-billion dollars with interest.
Michigan is said to be an important state as Trump is expected to go against President Joe Biden in the upcoming elections. President Biden defeated Trump in this state with a slight margin in 2020. However, the Democrat is facing some resistance, especially from Arab-American voters angry over his support for Israel.
Meanwhile, his Republican rival has been working to appeal to the blue-collar and union voters who played a major part in his victory in 2016. On Saturday, he held talks with auto workers, lashing out electric vehicle rules that he thinks will lead to job loss.
“We have to let them know a freight train is coming in November,” Trump told more than 2,000 supporters.
However, he was also focused on his grievances, about the criminal and civil cases against him. On Friday, a New York judge fined Trump to pay $355 million after he concluded that Trump had lied about his wealth for years.
“These repulsive abuses of power are not just an attack on me, they’re really an attack on you and all Americans,” Trump said on Saturday. “We’re all in this mess together!”
A day before, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll for damaging her reputation after she accused him of sexual assault.
