Donald Trump faced dual legal challenges in New York, seeking delays in his criminal trial related to paying hush money to Stormy Daniels and addressing potential property seizures for business fraud.
The trial delay was prompted by the late submission of evidence, with Trump’s lawyers pushing for a longer postponement.
In a separate case, Trump confronted a hefty fine and the threat of property seizure unless he proves his ability to pay.
Trump decried both cases as politically motivated attacks, alleging coordination with the White House and DOJ to influence the upcoming presidential election.
Despite financial setbacks, including a significant fine, Trump boasted of his wealth but faced the prospect of frozen assets or property seizures, the AFP reported.
His legal team sought continual delays, aiming to push the trials beyond the election, while Trump faced accusations of using campaign funds illegally to silence Stormy Daniels, potentially leading to a prison sentence if convicted.
