New York Attorney General Letitia James may have her sights set on Donald Trump’s Westchester golf course and Seven Springs estate as he struggles to pony up a bond on the $464 million judgment last month for civil fraud.
Donald Trump prosecutor moves to seize his golf course, sprawling New York estate as $464 million-plus interest fraud bond deadline looms
James’ team made the filing on March 6 without providing a name of specific Trump assets or a reason for doing so. Trump’s properties there include Trump National Golf Club Westchester as well as the 212-acre Seven Springs estate.Due to the fact that the verdict was handed down in New York City, James doesn’t need to enter judgments in the Big Apple, home to Trump Tower, the Trump Building on 40 Wall Street and other assets.
James’s team has rejected those arguments in court filings and it also suggested he could procure a series of smaller loans. Last month, Trump, 77, quickly appealed the decision, and his legal team asked a court to pare down the price tag closer to $100 million but was denied by an appeals judge. Just because James registered the judgment in Westchester County doesn’t mean that she will ultimately maneuver to confiscate Trump’s properties there, but it does give her that option.
James does not appear to have entered judgments in Florida or Illinois, where a number of other Trump properties are located.
