...The threat was investigated by police and the courthouse was closed and searched, with authorities finding that the threat was unfounded, according to court spokesman Lucian Chalfen, who confirmed the news to Bloomberg. The civil lawsuit, brought against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), alleges that Trump, his company and family inflated the value of their real estate assets. The suit was filed in September. The Hill reached out to the court for comment. Trump publicly attacked James on social media on Tuesday following the news of the bomb threat, saying Congress should investigate the New York attorney general and blasting the lawsuit as "completely bogus." "While Congress is at it, they should look at the Corrupt Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James, who got elected solely on a "I WILL GET TRUMP" platform, without knowing anything about me," Trump said on his social media site Truth Social. He went on to call the lawsuit "completely bogus." ...

New Trump Accountants Are Withholding Records, New York AG Says news.yahoo.com
...New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a state judge to force the accounting firm Whitley Penn LLP to produce documents and testimony in her $250 million lawsuit against Donald Trump. Trump hired the firm after cutting ties with longtime accountant Mazars USA LLP, which disavowed nearly a decade of financial statements for the Trump Organization based on findings from James's investigation. James on Monday filed a letter in New York State Supreme Court requesting an order enforcing subpoenas she sent to Texas-based Whitley Penn last month. The subpoenas seek documents and communications related to the suit as well as the deposition of a Whitley Penn partner who was "involved in transactions and occurrences relevant to this litigation." "This court has ample basis for exercising personal jurisdiction over Whitley Penn, which has come to New York State to do business, has purposefully availed itself of the privilege of doing business in New York, and has provided professional services regulated by the State of New York," James said in her filing....

"New Trump Accountants Are Withholding Records"
Are you kidding? We ALWAYS withhold records. And stonewall, steal, obfuscate...you know, and never get thrown in jail.
Why are they picking on Trump?

@#4 ... Why are they picking on Trump? ... ...
Perhaps those who break laws should be investigated and, if appropriate, prosecuted.

MAGAts are disgusting scum that will stop at nothing to protect dear leader.
But it's not a cult.

There will continue to be many, many delays of a wide variety in the various legal matters underway or presented against Der Dotard. A few of Trump's MAGA-Hat banditos will attempt to show up at courthouses, firearms in hand. The NYPD, experienced in dealing with real criminals, will quickly dispatch the out-of-work sellers of Trump banners who dare bring their guns. As for something more meaningful, e.g., a car bomb, all know for certain that no MAGA looney is willing to kill themselves over their frosted orange leader, no matter how tough the talk...

Letitia James, who got elected solely on a "I WILL GET TRUMP" platform, without knowing anything about me," Trump said on his social media site Truth Social.

Trump conveniently forgets to add he was a resident of NYC for years and years. During that time anyone there heard various things though the media about Trump. Crap he was calling the media, misrepresenting himself as an interested party in the Trump world, trying to get more news coverage. For over 40 years Trump has been the subject of investigations. So much for not knowing anything about Trump.

Just look at the crazy, all-caps calls to arms that the orange menace has posted today on his so-called Truth Social. He calls prosecutors and leftists animals and human scum and questions the wisdom of being peaceful.
He wants a scorched-earth war. Of course there are going to be bomb threats.
