President Trump held a press conference earlier at the Trump Building at 40 Wall St. on Monday to speak out on two New York court hearings in his civil fraud case and the Stormy Daniels hush money case, which happened earlier in the day.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Trump’s court hearings in New York, where Far-left Judge Arthur Engoron’s outrageous $464 million judgment in Marxist AG Letitia James’ civil fraud case was overturned, and Far-left Judge Juan Merchan set the Stormy Daniels hush payment trial for April 15.
President Trump had until Monday to either pay the judgment ordered by Judge Engoron or convince the appellate court to allow him to defer the payment pending appeal. The appellate court intervened on Monday, ruling that Trump can post a $175 million bond and extended his deadline by ten days.
Following the hearing, President Trump gave a statement to the press where he slammed Engoron as a “disgrace to this country,” who has left New York “battered by his decision” to punish and intimidate investors and businessmen.

RELATED: Trump seethes after New York trial set for April 15
Published March 25, 2024
Former President Trump fumed Monday over his legal troubles after a New York judge scheduled an April 15 start date for his hush money trial despite Trump’s efforts to postpone the case.
Trump, speaking down the street from the Manhattan courthouse after the judge’s ruling, railed against the 2016 hush money case and his legal problems more broadly as a matter of “election interference” that should not be allowed during a campaign season.
“I don’t know how you can have a trial that’s going on right in the middle of an election. Not fair. Not fair. It’s not fair at all,” he said, calling the cases against him “ridiculous” and “a shame.”
Trump spoke to reporters on a significant day in his legal proceedings. In addition to a trial date being set in the hush money case, a five-judge state appeals court panel in a Monday ruling said it would pause the enforcement of the $464 million judgment against Trump, the Trump Organization and top executives, with interest, if within 10 days they post a $175 million bond.
The former president said he would abide by the decision and post the bond, while ripping Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw the civil fraud trial.

Published March 25, 2024
Former President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the Manhattan prosecutor leading the “hush money” criminal case against him.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee took aim at Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo, a former top Justice Department official under President Biden who also once worked in New York Attorney Letitia James’s office.
“Colangelo is a radical left [prosecutor] from the DOJ who was put into the state working for Letitia James and was then put into the District Attorney’s office to run the trial against Trump,” Trump, 77, fumed during a press conference after a hearing in the case.
This is all Biden-run things [sic], meaning Biden and his thugs, because I don’t know if he knows he’s alive. And it’s a shame what’s happening to our country,” Trump charged.
