“The only FRAUD in the Peekaboo James case, our failed and disgusting New York State Attorney General, was her convincing ‘Judge’ Arthur Engoron to put a value on Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, of just $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. This was fraudulently and illegally done, working closely together in a corrupt Communist system, to set their NARRATIVE after learning that their Values and Facts were completely wrong. Businesses will flee the State as Migrant Crime and Violence continues to flourish. I paid $300,000,000 in Taxes, and this is what I get. WITCH HUNT!!!” —Donald Trump on Truth Social, Monday, March 18th.
Fact check (from an actual fact checker): Neither James nor Engoron put the $18 million value on Mar-a-Lago; a Palm Beach County real estate appraiser did, and Trump representatives noted with the county they agreed with the appraisal. And since when does how much one (allegedly) paid in taxes means one isn’t guilty of fraud?
