AOC warns of potential consequences if Trump’s assets aren’t seized before $454 million bond deadline
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls for Seizure of Trump’s Assets
In a fiery appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) didn’t hold back. She emphatically argued for the seizing of Donald Trump’s assets before the looming deadline for him to pay a staggering $454 million bond in his New York civil fraud case.
During the interview, Ocasio-Cortez made bold claims, stating that Trump orchestrated a “terrorist attack” on the Capitol, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. She firmly believes that not only should Trump’s assets be seized, but he should also be barred from setting foot in the White House ever again.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Concerns on the Financial Pressures Trump Faces
The New York congresswoman expressed deep concerns over the financial predicament Trump finds himself in, alluding to the risks associated with his mounting debt. She highlighted the urgency of taking decisive action to prevent any potential misuse of funds by the former president.
“There is a significant risk in allowing Trump to navigate through this open window without seizing his assets promptly. His desperate attempts to secure these funds by alternative means pose a palpable threat,” Ocasio-Cortez asserted.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has set the deadline for Trump to cough up the massive bond amount by Monday. Despite Trump’s claims of having substantial cash reserves, his legal team contends otherwise. James has issued a stark warning that unless the bond is paid, Trump’s assets could face seizure.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Stance on the Legal Battle Against Trump
Pushing back against allegations of partisan motives, Ocasio-Cortez defended the legal actions taken against Trump. She questioned whether any past president, regardless of their political affiliation, had faced such a barrage of criminal charges and investigations.
“This transcends politics; it’s about combating corruption and criminal behavior. Trump’s orchestration of a terrorist attack on the nation’s capital in pursuit of power cannot be downplayed,” the congresswoman passionately asserted.
Highlighting the widespread legal scrutiny Trump faces, Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that this legal battle extends far beyond just New York, with investigations unfolding across multiple jurisdictions including Georgia and federal courts.
