Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Letitia James

I don't think many people believe that Letitia James argued in good faith going after Trump
0:29
I don't think many people believe that she just saw a crime and she had to go after it
0:34
And the reason they don't believe it is her own words. Before she got into office
0:39
she said she was going to go find something to sue Donald Trump for
0:42
She said she was going to go after him. She said he would remember her name because she'd be suing him every day. Now how in this country somebody can target you
0:55
then go ahead and sue you, and then win? It's incomprehensible. They have weaponized the
1:03
justice system in the state of New York. And the thing is, liberals can cheer about it all they
1:08
want. But another state that is conservative can turn around and do this same thing. And we're
1:14
going to have a problem. And the problem is going to be that we are going to go after political
1:19
opponents like we're a third world banana republic. Democrats apparently don't see the
1:24
train coming on the tracks. We're trying to warn them, but they don't see it. And it's kind of the
1:30
same way it would be, honestly, if this was happening to a Democrat, and they'd be trying
1:35
to warn us, and we'd be celebrating it. Well, I wouldn't because I know better. I know that this
1:40
is bad precedent. But a lot of people would, let's be honest. Democrats don't see what's happening
1:46
here. Now, Alan Dershowitz and several other legal scholars believe that the excessive fine
1:54
and the fact that Trump has to pay the fine essentially to post bond before he can even
1:59
exercise his constitutional right to appeal this ridiculous decision. Well, they think that
2:05
violates the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, cruel and unusual punishment. I want you to hear
2:11
what he has to say. And he's speaking for a lot. I've read a lot today, people talking about the
2:15
Eighth Amendment and talking about this is a violation. I want you to hear what he has to say
2:20
And then give me your thoughts in the comments. When you like, comment, share and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
2:32
Time is running out. Former President Trump has less than one week to come up with more than $450
2:38
million. It's a bond he needs to post so he can appeal a civil fraud judgment he's facing in New
2:43
York as he also runs for president. Here's the National Desk. Christine Frizzell with a case
2:48
against him and why some legal scholars say the judgment is unconstitutional
2:55
How can you run for election and be sitting in a courthouse? His anger is palpable. Former
3:00
President Donald Trump running out of options, calling the ruling in his New York civil fraud
3:05
case a witch hunt and election interference. And that's why we must do everything in our power
3:10
But in a matter of days, New York Attorney General Letitia James may be able to start
3:15
seizing his assets, including Trump Tower, if he doesn't put up the cash. $454 million
3:23
by March 25th. More than 30 bond companies have already denied him the money. It's a fine some
3:29
legal experts say violates the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution. The amount is extremely
3:35
excessive. It violates the cruel and unusual punishment provisions of the Constitution that
3:40
include excessive fines as being prohibited. There was no damage done here. The judge just
3:46
made up this figure. Constitutional law professor Alan Dershowitz warns the impact could be a
3:51
chilling effect on others. You can't deny somebody the right to appeal based on lack of funds. That's
3:57
a violation of equal protection and a violation of due process. Some have also called the case
4:02
politically motivated since Attorney General Letitia James ran on the promise of going after
4:07
Trump. I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day suing him
