Trump blasts NYC ‘lawfare’ as vows to ‘MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN’
President Trump woke up Tuesday raging about “lawfare” in the Big Apple, vowing to help “MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN.”
The president ripped the Empire State’s legal system just hours after it emerged his Justice Department had ordered Manhattan prosecutors Monday to dismiss the historic bribery case against Mayor Eric Adams, which he did not directly address.
“New York is the most corrupt State in the Union,” Trump wrote on Truth Social just before 6 a.m.
“That is why so many businesses and people are fleeing,” he said.
“We need great Judges and Politicians to help fix New York, and to stop the kind of Lawfare that was launched against me,” he said.
Trump then targeted the so-called “lawfare” he believes he has unfairly faced, complaining that a judge “falsely” lowballed the value of his Mar-a-Lago estate at $18 million during New York Attorney General Letitia James’ fraud suit against him, his Trump Organization and sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
Trump suggested Tuesday it actually may be worth “100 times” that amount — or $1.8 billion.
The president also slammed the $83 million verdict in the defamation case brought against by writer Jean E. Caroll, who Trump said Tuesday he “had no idea who she was” and accused her of making up “a FAKE and ridiculous accusation.”
He also appeared to reference his historic criminal conviction on 34 counts last May at the conclusion of his hush money trial after he was accused by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office of illegally trying to cover up payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump claimed in the online post the case “was made up by a corrupt and highly conflicted Judge in order to criminally attack me for political purposes.”
“Hopefully, Justice Will Prevail as these cases wind their way through the Appellate System,” he wrote.
“MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!”
