Kevin O’Leary responded to the decision by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur F. Engoron to fine President Trump $355 million plus $100 million in pre-judgment interest. O’Leary warned that this attack on President Trump is an attack on America.
In an interview with Fox News, Shark Tank host Kevin O’Leary discussed President Trump’s assets at risk of being seized. O’Leary explained that this threat sends a message to Americans: “You think about America. The reason why this is the number one economy on earth is that we have laws and due process.”
O’Leary added, “We have property rights. It attracts foreign capital from all around the world. All of that is being shaken to the core here.”
O’Leary refers to the latest news in the sham civil fraud case against President Trump in New York. ABC News reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James has ordered President Trump to pay a grand total of approximately $454 million.
If he is unable to pay this amount, James said she is prepared to seize his assets. According to ABC News, she said, “We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day.”
President Trump has the right to appeal, but only if he posts bond. He called out Judge Engoron on Truth Social, saying, “Judge Engoron actually wants me to put up Hundreds of Millions of Dollars for the Right to Appeal his ridiculous decision.”
According to O’Leary, “The concept of seizing assets in 30 days on a bond number that has never been issued” is ridiculous and sends a bad message. O’Leary added that this isn’t about President Trump. This is “an attack on America, and I don’t know how you can look at it any other way.”
