Former President Donald Trump, in a blistering social media attack on Saturday, October 28, launched a scathing criticism against Judge Arthur Engoron, who presides over his financial fraud trial in a Manhattan courtroom. Trump’s fervent denouncement portrayed Judge Engoron as a “grossly incompetent” figure, prompting a wave of controversy and demands for the judge’s removal from the case.
In a fiery online post, Trump demanded, “This Radical Trump Hater Must Be Taken Off This Case!” Trump substantiated his criticism by pointing out that Judge Engoron’s decisions have been frequently overturned on appeal, citing a dubious record in New York State. The former president further accused the judge of being a partisan operative, consistently flouting decisions made by the Court of Appeals. Trump’s accusations escalated dramatically when he claimed that Judge Engoron was obstructing the introduction of a jury to the proceedings, casting serious doubt on the fairness of the trial.
Trump’s criticism did not stop at Judge Engoron; he also targeted Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, branding her as a “Failed, Trump-Hating, Racist” figure. According to Trump, James launched her political career with the singular promise of taking him down. He alleged that James orchestrated a political stunt, using the case as a platform for a gubernatorial campaign that ultimately met with failure. Trump challenged the integrity of the entire New York State legal system, asserting that it had utterly collapsed under biased decisions.

In Trump’s view, the ongoing trial is nothing short of a “Witch Hunt,” a sentiment he claimed is shared by many observers. He expressed hope for an imminent change in the perceived state of affairs, indicating a widespread desire for a fair trial.
One of the most contentious points of the trial was Judge Engoron’s valuation of Trump’s iconic Mar-a-Lago property. Trump vehemently contested the judge’s appraisal, insisting that Mar-a-Lago, along with other properties, is worth far more than the judge’s assessment of $18 million. This disagreement further intensified the conflict between the former president and the judge.
In an unexpected turn, Trump ventured into the realm of electoral politics, alleging that the proceedings are part of a “Biden Election Interference Scam.” He adamantly maintained his innocence, claiming no crimes were committed and no victims exist. Shockingly, he emphasized that no jury has been permitted, raising serious questions about the fairness and transparency of the legal proceedings.
Trump’s accusations have ignited a firestorm of debate, raising concerns about the impartiality of the justice system and the political motivations behind the trial. As the legal battle continues, the public eagerly awaits developments, wondering how this high-stakes courtroom drama will unfold.
