Trump hints at discussing settlement with Engoron, but dismisses reported numbers as incorrect.
Former President Donald Trump, in an impromptu press conference at his 40 Wall Street property, criticized New York Judge Arthur Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James for their handling of his case. He praised the appeals court for reducing his bond from $454 million to $175 million, calling it a fair decision.
During the 21-minute news conference, Trump accused Judge Engoron of being corrupt and biased against him. He also claimed that settlement negotiations with the judge had exposed the partisan nature of the case.
Trump was in court for an indictment related to a misdemeanor charge, which he dismissed as a political attack. He used the opportunity to criticize the justice system and promote his campaign message.
Trump expressed his respect for the appellate court’s decision to reduce the bond and vowed to comply with it quickly. He reiterated his belief that the cases against him were politically motivated and aimed at interfering in the 2024 election.
