Representative D’Esposito Tells Newsmax: Trump’s New York Case is Clearly “Political Persecution”

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito said on Newsmax Saturday that there has never been a “more blatant act of political persecution” in the United States than the civil fraud prosecution in New York City against former President Donald Trump. He called the multi-million dollar fine levied against Trump as a result of the prosecution as a “wake-up call” for those who do business in New York.

D’Esposito, a New York Republican, noted that New York City leads the nation in migration of people moving south because they can’t afford to live in the city and are fed up with the quality of life. He said that now businesses and people doing business in New York will begin to leave because they can face the same consequences as Trump.

Last Friday, New York Judge Arthur Engoron imposed a $364 million penalty against Trump, ruling that for several years, he inflated his wealth in his dealings with banks and other businesses. He also barred Trump from serving as a director or officer of any corporation in the state for three years. The judge also imposed millions in fines against Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr.

D’Esposito also said that the findings will resonate with people across the United States who have an interest in getting involved in politics and government. He called it a “perfect example” of when “they can’t win in the ballot box, they take it to court.”

Additionally, D’Esposito discussed this week’s House vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is being accused of violating the nation’s immigration laws. He expressed doubt in the Democrat-majority Senate voting to impeach Mayorkas.
