Trump unleashes rapid-fire posting tirade after prosecutor ups demands in fraud trial
Donald Trump went on a Truth Social tirade Friday, sharing rapid-fire posts condemning the New York prosecutor who accused him of fraudulently reaping $370 million in “ill-gotten gains.”
In a matter of minutes, Trump reposted five old messages targeting Attorney General Letitia James.
In one jarring post, Trump describing a group of peaceful protesters under an “MLK” — or Martin Luther King Jr. — banner as “monsters.”
Another shows James urging New Yorkers to cast their ballots in the 2018 election for the office she now holds.
“Donald Trump: that’s your motivation,” James says. “Get off your a-- and vote.”

“This is the Lunatic A.G. that’s prosecuting me," writes Trump. "Lawyers say there is No Way this should be allowed to happen.”
Both sides in the multi-million-dollar civil fraud lawsuit filed Friday their closing arguments after months in court.
While Trump’s attorneys repeated their arguments that James failed to prove fraud — in direct opposition with Judge Arthur Engoron’s pre-trial ruling that he had — James’ filing held a surprise.
She added $120 million to the amount of damages she demanded he pay.
