The amount Donald Trump owes for his fraudulent business practices goes up every single day, and New York Attorney General Letitia James won't let him forget that fact.
Trump forcefully fought against the allegations by James' office, which accused the former president of committing civil fraud by misrepresenting the value of his assets to get better deals on bank loans. Yet in the end, Justice Arthur Engoron found Trump, his adult sons, and his organization liable for fraud, and ordered them to pay hundreds of millions of dollars

James on Feb. 23 set social media on fire when she made a very simple post.
"$464,576,230.62," the prosecutor wrote. The number, of course, refers to the total judgment entered by Engoron after the trial ended.
But that's not all Trump will owe. That amount goes up by about $100,000 per day due to interest that's being accrued.
So, James Saturday decided her post needed an update. "+$114,553.04," she wrote, demonstrating the addition of more than $100,000 in interest that accrued since Friday.
That move by James was noticed by political onlookers, one of whom said the post was "petty."
Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko wrote, "Letitia James tweeting out the interest Trump is incurring is my kind of petty."
Jeff Tiedrich also chimed in:
"I am so fu---ng here for Letitia James live-tweeting the ever-increasing interest on what Donald Trump owes to the state of New York," he added Saturday.
Harry Sisson also pointed out the ongoing tally by James.
"This is too funny! New York AG Letitia James is now posting the interest that Donald Trump is incurring daily from his New York fraud trial," Sisson wrote on Saturday. "Attorney General James has held Donald Trump accountable and is letting him know!"
