Former President Trump targeted the judge and New York attorney general in a series of social media posts on Sunday as he awaits the verdict of his civil fraud case that could bar him from ever doing business in the state again.

Trump, in his posts, reiterated his defenses in the case, saying the New York case was a “witch hunt,” that his company made “only success and profits,” and pointing to the “100% Disclaimer and Non-reliance Clause, stating CLEARLY that the reader must do their own analysis and due-diligence.”

James has asked Engoron to force Trump to pay a nearly $370 million penalty for falsely altering his net worth on key financial statements to receive tax and insurance benefits. The state is also asking the judge to bar the former president from New York’s real estate business for life.

    “100% Disclaimer and Non-reliance Clause, stating CLEARLY that the reader must do their own analysis and due-diligence.”

    “The language of ‘no backsies’ was clearly written in all financial contracts where we, the Trump organization, were required to deliver an asset or return. Further, anyone performing an audit of the documents the Trump organization has file will not once find the language claiming validation by ‘pinky swear’. We believe this presents a strong defense to the governments case of fraud against us. To demonstrate the faith in our argument, we ‘double dog dare’ the Justice Department to take this case further. I believe that should be the final word on this, right?”

      Ooooh, you forgot to include the triple-stamp, so you’re going to jail unfortunately.
