Letitia James' threat 'that must haunt Trump's dreams singled out by MSNBC host
During an MSNBC panel discussion on the hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest Donald Trump is racking up each day he doesn't pay his massive penalty for committing financial fraud, "The Weekend" co-host Alicia Menendez pointed to comments New York Attorney General Letitia James made about how she will make sure the state gets paid.
While speaking with former DOJ official Mary McCord, Menendez ran a clip of James explaining, "If he [Trump] does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek a judgment enforcement mechanism in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets."
She then added, "We are prepared to make sure the judgment is paid to New Yorkers. Yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day."
For the benefit of her viewers, the MSNBC host pointed out that 40 Wall Street is the address for The Trump Building.

"Two important pieces," Menendez suggested. "Make sure the judgment is paid to New Yorkers because often one of the things you heard from Trump's team is this is a victimless crime. So the idea that there are actually citizens who need to be repaid is one piece of this. And then the comment that must haunt Trump's dreams now is, 'Yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day.'"
