Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Newsmax on Monday that former President Donald Trump's 'big victory' in getting his bond in the New York civil fraud trial cut to $175 million was spurred by a feeling of insecurity in the state's courts.
Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Newsmax on Monday that former President Donald Trump's "big victory" in getting his bond in the New York civil fraud trial cut to $175 million was spurred by a feeling of insecurity in the state's courts.
"So, you're seeing this weaponized against one person when it could be done against anybody else and, obviously, the New York courts are very sensitive, especially at the appeals level, to what Judge Engoron did here when there's — to the point others made — no victim, no basis for this judgment in the first place, and a number that was untethered to any relation to any other number.
Whitaker also commented on a development in Trump's hush money case, in which prosecutors recently released documents to Trump's legal team, resulting in the postponement of the original trial date.
