A former fundraiser for then-President Obama defended former President Trump against the $464 million bond levied against him by a New York judge, telling Fox News the Empire State obviously wants to inflict “pain” in case the GOP nominee wins his appeal.
Trump was ordered to remit a $464 million bond ahead of his appeal, or face potential liens or property seizures as threatened by New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James after Judge Arthur Engoron handed down the landmark fine.
On Thursday, however, Don Peebles suggested to Fox News the situation is a ploy to disrupt Trump’s presidential campaign and hurt him personally before that ability is lost in future proceedings, and that James “made a mistake.”
In an interview with Fox Business host Neil Covuto, Peebles admitted he has supported James for a long time, over her advocacy for minority-owned businesses, but he condemned her legal battle against Trump, and suggested it’s mostly just an opportunity to damage the former president while she has a chance.
“I have expressed concern that I think that this is a very slippery slope to selectively enforce an archaic law that has got no victim,” Peebles said. He suggested that if James is so confident in her case, she should allow Trump to continue the appeals process without having to pay the penalty in advance.
“I think they are confident, or think it’s likely that this will get reversed, and then there will be no punishment, so they’re rushing to inflict as much pain on him as they can right now, because once the appeals court puts an end to this, then there will be no repercussions and this case would have been brought for naught. So, to disrupt his business and disrupt him now, distract him from the campaign… that’s the tactic, that’s the goal. And that’s why I think this is so wrong,” he added.
