AG Letitia James Speaks to the Press Transcript

Trump continues to rant and rave and scream at the cameras. He, unfortunately, continues to use this courtroom as a means to raise funds for his campaign. Mr. Trump, unfortunately, built his empire on lies and Mr. Trump, unfortunately, fails to recognize what is happening in court, and that is we have demonstrated over and over again that he committed lies, fraud, and that his statements of financial condition, unfortunately, were inflated and were used to enrich himself, his family, and his company.

(00:48)
Mr. Trump may lie, but numbers don’t lie. The fact is that the judges already decided that he engaged and repeated in persistent acts of fraud.

(01:01)
And so, he can call me names, he can engage in distractions, but at the end of the day, at the end of the day, Mr. Trump, unfortunately, his entire empire was built on nothing but lies and on sinking sand.

(01:22)
So we will continue to return to court. We’ll continue to listen to the facts and the evidence. We will continue to demonstrate to the general public that Mr. Donald Trump is not worth as much as he has indicated and that his statements of financial worth were used for nothing more than to benefit himself and his circle of friends and his family.

(01:50)
So I’m confident that we will be successful at the end of the day, and we’ll see this through no matter how long it takes. I’m sure that he will be back again and he will again attempt to distract each and every one of you, attempt to raise his voice and scream. But at the end of the day, justice will be served, and I’m confident that victory will be mine.
