'There were no victims!' Trump declared in NY trial

"There were no victims!" Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform in late September after Judge Arthur Engoron rejected his request to delay the trial. "On the front page of the financial statements there is a strong ‘disclaimer clause’ telling all not to rely on these financial statements."

Trump said the disclaimer clause "tells anyone reviewing the data, including financial institutions, to do their own research and analysis —it is a non-reliance clause, and could not be more clear."

"Additionally to my being worth far more than is shown in the ‘fully disclaimed’ financial statements, again, not putting down a value for my biggest asset, brand, the company has hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, and very little debt," Trump said. "It is a great company that has been slandered and maligned by this politically motivated Witch Hunt."

He added: "It is very unfair, and I call for help from the highest Courts in New York State, or the Federal System, to intercede. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!"
