During an interview with CNN’s State of the Union, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asserted that Trump gave the order for a “terrorist assault” on the Capitol and advocated for the seizure of his assets and his exclusion from the White House.
“What we are dealing with politically is the far more significant, terrible, and serious pressure that comes with this judgment against Donald Trump, his level of debt, the financial difficulties he faces, and the things he must do to acquire those assets,” the speaker stated.
The New York Democrat continued, “I really believe that there is a risk in not taking these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to obtain these cash via other methods.”
Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, is requiring Trump to pay the $454 million bail by Monday. Trump claims to have $500 million in cash on hand, but according to his attorneys, he does not. If the former president fails to pay the bail, James has threatened to take possession of his belongings.
In response to criticism that the accusations made against Trump were unfounded, Ocasio-Cortez hit back.
Has a president, whether Republican or Democrat, ever faced this many criminal accusations, indictments, and investigations? This has nothing to do with partying. Politics is not the focus of this. This has to do with criminality and corruption,” the radical Democrat stated. “We are discussing a man who, in an attempt to hold onto power, basically authorized a terrorist attack on the US capital.”
The fact that it is occurring in so many locations and jurisdictions, she continued, “cuts in the face of that; this is not only happening in New York; it is happening in Georgia and federal courts as well.”
