Donald Trump has issued a panicky fundraising email to his supporters entitled “Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower!” as the Monday deadline to pay his $464m bond in the New York fraud judgement against him ticks ever closer.
”KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER!” the mailout reads. “Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia Jameswants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER!”
Mr Trump’s lawyers notified an appeals court this week that their client has failed to raise the money to cover the bond, saying finding a surety company to help them was proving a “practical impossibility”.
Asked in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday whether Mr Trump could look to wealthy overseas donors in Russia or Saudi Arabia for help, Trump attorney Alina Habba did not rule it out, stating instead that she could not discuss strategy.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee did score one win yesterday when the judge overseeing his election interference case in Georgia issued a certificate of immediate review allowing the former president and his co-defendants to appeal the decision to allow Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case against them.
Truth Social: Trump STILL raging about New York bond, lashes out at ‘loser’ Milley and brags about Latino support
Here’s the latest from Trump’s social swamp, where he’s been fuming about the bond after a marathon session on the subject all week, branding the retired general Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a “loser” over the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 and bragging about his alleged appeal to Latino voters.

What does Trump-backed Bernie Moreno’s win in Ohio mean for November’s election?
John Bowden filed this report from Cleveland, Ohio:
Bernie Moreno decisively won the GOP nomination for US Senate in Ohio on Monday, the second candidate to be essentially carried to victory by former President Donald Trump in the state in two years.
He’ll join the other Republican with that distinction, JD Vance, in Ohio’s US Senate delegation next January if he is able to beat incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in the fall. Mr Moreno actually ran against Mr Vance in the last election cycle but withdrew to clear the way for his one-time rival after the Hillbilly Elegy author won Mr Trump’s endorsement that year.
Tuesday evening’s victory is a sign of Donald Trump’s continued endorsement strength — particularly in the midwest and in states where he has less directly clashed with state Republican leaders.
