🚨Trump to PAY BACK MILLIONS as Judge ISSUES INSTANT ORDER
This is a rapidly developing story involving turmoil inside the Justice Department and mounting legal and financial pressure on Donald Trump.
According to reporting by NBC News journalists Kendall Delanian and Vaughn Hillyard, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is now considering resigning after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The clash reportedly stemmed from Bongino’s frustration over how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Sources familiar with the situation say Bongino is furious and feels the handling of the matter has destroyed his career. One person who spoke directly with him said he is threatening to quit and publicly go after Bondi unless she is removed. Another source familiar with discussions between Bongino, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Bondi described Bongino as “out of control.”
At the same time, Donald Trump is facing a major legal and financial crisis in New York.
A New York judge has ordered Trump to immediately pay $364 million stemming from the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The court found that Trump and the Trump Organization repeatedly inflated asset values over many years to secure favorable bank loans.
Although an appeals court earlier reduced the original penalty—previously over $500 million—it upheld the core fraud findings. The reduction did not clear Trump of wrongdoing; it merely adjusted the financial penalty. Importantly, the judge has now made enforcement immediate.
There will be no payment plans, no delays, and no further negotiations.
The judge explicitly warned that any attempt to hide assets, move money, or evade payment could result in criminal contempt, which carries the possibility of jail time. While civil judgments usually lead to asset seizures, ignoring a court order can cross into criminal consequences.
The $364 million figure includes interest that accumulated while Trump delayed payment through appeals and motions. Ironically, those delay tactics only increased the total amount owed.
If Trump cannot pay, the state can move to seize assets, including high-profile properties such as Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and his golf courses. Reports also indicate increasing difficulty for Trump in posting bonds and accessing liquidity, raising concerns about a cash-flow crisis.
