After receiving a barrage from President Joe Biden and his campaign, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has refuted claims that he is bankrupt and issued new statements about his re-election financing and fraud link.
Donald Trump, who faces 91 criminal charges in four indictments, said Friday morning: “Through hard work, talent and luck, I currently have nearly half a billion dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president.”
President Biden's re-election campaign on Thursday criticized former President Trump's fundraising numbers, calling him a “broke Don.” “Not a winning campaign: Don Romp Hides in the basement,” the campaign wrote in an email. “Trump can't raise money, he's not campaigning, and he's letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”
Last month, a New York official ordered the 77-year-old businessman to pay $355 million in a civil fraud case. Encountering difficulties in filing for bail, Trump's lawyers said they could not find any Treasury-approved company to cover him.
Trump, recalling the judge's decision, wrote in Truth Social: “The oft-overturned political judge in the rigged and corrupt attorney general case, in which I have done nothing wrong, knew it, wanted to take it away from me, and there it is where and why He came up with the shocking figure which, together with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000.”
“I did nothing wrong except win an election in 2016 that I was not expected to win, I did even better in 2020 and now I lead, by a long shot, in 2024,” reiterating that he is being hurt.
“No trial, no jury, no crime, no victim, just a corrupt judge and a corrupt attorney general who hates Trump and takes orders directly from the White House,” Trump said of Judge Engoron and the New York District Attorney. York, Letitia James. .
The former president has been under financial pressure, with a whopping $3 million spent in January and the total expense of legal issues amounting to more than $55 million since the beginning of 2023.
