“TRUMP SPEAKS AFTER TODAY’S COURT SESSION ENDS”
Video transcript
Well I think that was very good. At last five minutes was outstanding because the judge essentially conceded that the statute of limitations that we wanted the court of appeals is in effect. Therefore about 80% of the case is over. I was going to come out and say that as you know we're not entitled to a jury which is pretty unusual in the United States of America. So you think it's very unfair that I don't have a jury but the judge's last statement was very fair and if I read it right I'll let perhaps one of the lawyers speak to it. But the way I interpret that and the way everyone else in the room seems to interpret that is that the statute of limitations is a very real thing in this country and that would be about 80 percent of this case would be over. Could somebody speak to that please? Based on the judge's comments at the end of the trial today, it would appear that he is agreeing that all the transactions had closed prior to 2014 are now out of the case. Which is about 80 percent of the case and it's also something that we want on appeal but was not accepted by this court but now seems to be accepted by this court. As far as the jury is concerned it's much different now. We must tell you that it was 20 minutes ago. We're going to come out and complain that in this country you're entitled to a jury. But we very much appreciate the judge's decision today or his statement today on statute of limitations which is a very big thing. It's a limited time period and we did nothing wrong and if you look at the statements they showed that even in 2011 I guess the numbers 258 million in cash, very strong company. I don't believe we really, maybe I wouldn't do a couple of deals or something but I wouldn't have even needed to go to banks. Banks loved our business, they loved our deals, they were defrauded, they lost no money, they made money. They had the finest attorneys that there are. Frankly their attorneys were better than my attorneys and they made a lot of money and they considered to be a very good client. I paid them back on time on schedule. There was no default. They never even sent me a default letter. Not one. For years never got a default letter. And there's no case here. There's no victim. The banks aren't a victim. The insurance companies are a victim. Everybody got paid. It's a terrible, terrible thing. This was for politics. Now it has been very successful for them because they took me off the campaign trail because I've been sitting in a courthouse all day long instead of being in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or a lot of other places I could be at. This is a horrible situation for our country. It's never happened before. It's election interference. They're interfering with the presidential election of 2024 and the people of our country see it. But this was a big, big, I say surprise, but it was a great credit to the court that the judge was willing to do this. He sort of overruled himself and I greatly respect that. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. We may. Campaigning instead of doing this. I built a great company. That's one thing people are seeing all the way back to 2011 and today it's much bigger and much better and even much more liquid. That was $258 million dollars for a real estate to go. That's a lot of money. It was in 2011. Today it's much more than that. Much, much more. I built a great company and did great things for New York and they should respect that. I've employed thousands and thousands of people in New York and they should respect that. The Attorney General of this state is a disgrace. Latisha James is a disgrace. She's a disgrace to our country and to the state of New York. She should focus on all of the violent crime and the murders going on in New York. Not on somebody that paid back to banks in full without it to fall and in many cases paid it back early. Thank you Thank you very much, everybody.
