Donald Trump lashed out at prosecutors Friday as the clock ticked down on the possible seizure of his assets and threatened bankruptcy if he fails to come up with cash to pay a half-billion dollar bond.

The former president, who is running again in this years election, is under pressure after a New York court ruled that he, his sons and his family company lied about the value of assets, deceiving banks and insurers.

Shares of his social media company could start trading on the stock market as early as Monday, upping his worth by $3 billion, but it is uncertain when the cash would be available to cover his $454 million bond.

No trial, no jury, no crime, no victim, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Only a crooked judge and a corrupt, Trump-hating attorney general, who takes her orders directly from the White House.

Election interference at a level never seen before!

Trump said that due to hard work, talent, and luck he had almost $500 million in cash that he had planned to spend on his election campaign, adding the judge knew this, (and) wanted to take it away from me.

Trump Media is planning to go public by merging with shell company Digital World Acquisition Corporation.

A vote on Friday could approve the much-delayed merger and create a windfall for Trump though the cash influx may be months away.

Trump built a public profile as a property developer and businessman in New York before entering politics.

Despite the real-estate moguls $2.6 billion estimated net worth - and his own claims of having cash on hand - his lawyers say that it has been Impossible to come up with the $454 million bond, due Monday.

Typically, such bonds would be underwritten by an insurer or specialized bond company.

But Trumps lawyers say that after approaching 30 such companies, none will take the ex-presidents real-estate holdings as collateral.

Trump, facing 91 criminal counts in other cases, has seized on his legal woes to fire up supporters and denounce his opponent President Joe Biden, claiming that all the court cases are a political tactic to thwart his election chances. (AFP)
