Former President Donald Trump is set to double his net worth as his Truth Social platform goes public, but he says he doesn’t intend to give any of that money to a New York court, planning an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the deadline for putting up a $454 million bond looms before the New York attorney general can start filing to seize Trump Organization assets to execute judgment on the civil fraud case after the March 25 deadline.

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to give money to a rogue and incompetent judge—the puppet of a corrupt attorney general who’s failing with violent crime and migrant crime and whose only purpose in life is attempting to get Trump,” President Trump told Fox News on Friday afternoon.
