> Democrats changed the law to retroactively prosecute Trump.
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday compared the $355 million
judgment against him in his Manhattan civil fraud trial to Russia’s
treatment of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who died in a remote Russian
penal colony last week.
“It is a form of Navalny. It is a form of communism or fascism,” Trump,
77, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham during a town hall event in
Greeneville, SC, when asked about the massive penalty imposed on him by
Judge Arthur Engoron last Friday, which will grow by more than $87,000 per
day – due to interest – until he pays up.
“The guy’s a nut job,” the former president said of the 74-year-old cab
driver-turned-judge. “I’ve known this for a long time and I’ve said it
openly.”
“This guy ruled that I was guilty before the trial started,” Trump said of
Engoron, later suggesting that the judge imposed the nine-figure fine
because he revealed in deposition last year that he had cash
“substantially in excess” of $400 million.
“I think he looked at my cash and he said, ‘Well, we’ll take all of his
cash,’” Trump argued.
