from The National Pulse:
New York Attorney General Letitia James initiated legal action in Westchester County, NY, targeting properties belonging to former President Donald Trump, including his Seven Springs golf course and private estate. This move follows a court ruling in which New York Judge Arthur Engoron declared Trump guilty of civil fraud and passed an order demanding he pay $464 million in disgorgement and interest.
Dismissing Trump’s assertion of an inability to secure a bond for this substantial amount, James signaled her readiness to seize the past president’s assets as an alternative method of payment. A representative for James on Wednesday submitted a legal filing, urging the court to reject what was termed Trump’s “extraordinary request” to appeal without posting the full amount ordered, an amount Trump deemed “practically impossible” to offer.

State attorneys formally lodged the judgments in the Westchester County clerk’s office on March 6th, CNN reported, noting that this action, the first required step to recover property, may be followed by additional moves such as imposing liens on assets or initiating foreclosure on properties among other court-sanctioned actions.
The judgment, which outlines Trump’s options as compliance, persuading an appeals court to allow the posting of a reduced sum, or a postponement until after an appeal, has also been filed in New York City, where Trump owns notable properties including Trump Tower.
Chris Kise, Trump’s attorney, criticized the AG’s legal action as blatant misuse of power, suggesting it was born of the political vendetta against Trump and contradicted New York law, risking lasting damage to the business community and the rule of law.
