Trump to Judge Engoron: 'Leave my children alone'

Former President Donald Trump doesn't mess around in any aspect of his life, let alone when people come after his family.

In a Truth Social post last week, at the same time his grown children, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were set to testify in the New York civil fraud trial against the Trump family and the Trump Organization, the former president let Judge Arthur Engoron have it.

The former president warned the judge, "leave my children alone" in a scathing post.

Trump has taken several shots at the judge, and other judges overseeing some of the legal cases he's currently facing.

What did he say?

"This Rigged Trial, brought by the Racist New York State A.G. Letitia James before Trump and developer Hating Judge, Arthur Engoron, which should have never been brought in that the so-called STAR WITNESS, SleazeBag Lawyer (for many people) Michael Cohen, admitted last week on the stand that he LIED, and also that your favorite President, Donald J. Trump, or anyone from the Trump Organization, NEVER TOLD HIM TO INFLATE VALUES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, the opposite of what he told the A.G. in order to get this HOAX started," Trump wrote.

Trump added, "Therefore, on that fact alone, this Fake Case should be dismissed. Additionally, however, the Financial Statements Values are Conservative (LOW!), Mar-a-Lago is worth MUCH MORE than $18,000,000, there is a 100% Disclaimer Clause on the 1st page of the Statements, the Banks and Insurance Companies were paid in full, no defaults, they all made money, and there is no Victim (except me!)."

"Leave my children alone, Engoron. You are a disgrace to the legal profession!"

Trump has long argued that he, nor his company or children, have done anything illegal.

The former president has also slammed AG James for pursuing the case, insisting that she's only doing it for personal political gain, as she once promised to sue Trump during her campaign, presumably to gain favor with anti-Trump voters.

Background

James accused Trump and the Trump Organization -- run by his children -- of inflating the value of company-related assets in order to gain leverage and better financing terms.

Many legal experts have argued that there were no victims even if that was the case, as the banks still made money and performed their own due diligence before providing them loans.

Like Trump, many believe it's simply a continuation of the Democrat-led political witch hunt against the former president in order to hamstring his 2024 election chances.

So far, Trump has remained unphased by the multitude of legal attacks, and continues to dominate GOP primary polling.
