In the civil fraud case concerning property valuations, Letitia James is using the WRONG numbers provided BY Trump and still has evidence against him. He can’t even lie right anymore. MeidasTouch. [https://youtu.be/reQF6pyBsbY?t=165](https://youtu.be/reQF6pyBsbY?t=165) ---

[Giuliani says Trump was “really really upset” when Navarro got convicted of contempt.](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/09/donald-trump-upset-peter-navarro-conviction-rudy-giuliani) Not upset enough to pay his legal fees, of course… " Giuliani told the Newsmax host Eric Bolling that pending criminal charges against him and Trump were “one thing” – but it was different to see “your family, your friends, the people working for you” to get in similar trouble. We all know how much empathy Donald has for friends, family, etc. ---
