“Any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price,” warns Rep. Sean Casten

A Democrat who sits on the House Financial Services Committee warned that former President Donald Trump’s inability to secure a bond for his $464 million fraud judgment makes him a “massive national security risk.”

Trump’s lawyers in a filing on Monday told a New York appeals court that he cannot secure a bond after approaching 30 underwriters.

“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” the attorneys wrote.

The filing quoted an insurance broker who signed an affidavit stating that securing the bond is a “practical impossibility.”

              I mean I just grabbed the first source. Meanwhile you won’t find a source for your claim anywhere, because he was never accused of that.

                He admitted to hiring prostitutes to pee on a bed. It’s not a stretch to imagine that they performed other tasks.

                Either way, Donald Trump hired prostitutes.
