Donald Trump’s former niece said the former president’s lawyers were “doing an appalling job” on a blog that chronicled a series of legal setbacks suffered by the 2024 Republican front-runner in the polls through this year.
Mary Trump reacted to the news that her uncle was promoting pieces of the suit he was wearing in his photo when he was arrested in Georgia on extortion charges, which she said is aimed at “raising cash for his legal fees” at “a new low. “for him. “
Trump has been charged with four separate criminal cases that could complicate his bid for a second term in the White House in November 2024. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including allegations that he orchestrated the payment of hush money to a pornographic company. The actress mishandled classified documents and broke the law by attempting to overturn the final results of the 2020 presidential election in the United States, as well as the state of Georgia in particular.
In a blog post on the Substack platform, titled “Donald Sells Lawsuit Over His Back,” Mary wrote, “To make matters even worse for Donald, his lawyers are doing an appalling job. This year only:
In York, the Trump Organization was found guilty of 17 criminal charges, including tax evasion and conspiracy. From now on, only damages will have to be decided. They’re going to be HUGE!
“2. Donald has lost BOTH gag order cases, and they are now in effect. Jail time in 3… 2…
“3. A federal judge ruled that E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump can proceed, after she already won the first case. And he’s defamed her AGAIN.
A federal judgment in Florida fined Donald Trump and his lawyer nearly $1 million for filing frivolous lawsuits against Hillary Clinton and others. But their emails!!
In January 2023, the Trump Organization fined $1. 6 million in New York after two related entities were convicted of 17 crimes, in addition to falsifying business records and tax evasion. Separately, in September, a New York court ruled on the Trump Organization is liable for fraud in a $250 million civil lawsuit filed through New York Attorney General Letitia James.
So far, Trump has been fined a total of $15,000 for violating a gag order imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron in the New York civil case, which barred him from criticizing court employees, which he tried unsuccessfully to overturn. Separately, earlier this month, a federal appeals court necessarily upheld a gag order imposed on Trump in his federal election interference case.
In May, Donald Trump was ordered to pay $5 million in damages after a New York jury concluded he’s sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s, then defamed her when she went public with the allegation. Trump is continuing to strongly deny any wrongdoing.
Newsweek has reached out to Donald Trump for comment on the press request form on his official website.
Mary Trump also took to her blog to criticize her uncle on Tuesday after declaring on her Truth Social that those who buy 47 virtual Trump trading cards, sold for $99 each, will also get a piece of the suit he wore. Georgia and you may be invited to attend a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
She wrote: “I know Donald. I have no disgrace and he’s just as comfortable resorting to buildings, steaks and fake universities. But it’s a new low, even for him, and it reeks of desperation. “
Referring to the Mar-a-Lago event, Mary Trump later added: “Donald will sell access to anybody if they chip in a few bucks if it will help him pay the people whose job it is to keep him out of an orange jumpsuit.”
