Rep.Ā Alexandria Ocasio-CortezĀ (D-NY.) warned Sunday there is a āriskā to not seizing former President Trumpās assets as he faces a looming deadline to post a bond in the $454 million judgment in his New York fraud case.
āI think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment againstĀ Donald TrumpĀ and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets,ā Ocasio-Cortez said on CNNās āState of the Union.ā
āI actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,ā she said. āWeāve seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with Truth Social and other means. And thereās a very real risk of political corruption.ā
The deadline for Trump to pay the staggering bond amount is Monday in the New York fraud case. If he fails to post a bond, he faces a risk of his assets being seized by New York Attorney GeneralĀ Letitia JamesĀ ā who he has continuedĀ to rail againstĀ in recent days.
