AOC: Donald Trump ‘Should Be Treated the Same’ as Everyone Else in the NY Fraud Case

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Well, you know, I think Attorney General James has been handling this case with tremendous skill. It's ultimately up to her determination, but it is my belief that all people should be treated equally under the law. And if that seizure of assets would be pursued to any other American, then Donald Trump should be treated the same. As far as the political implications go, I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trump and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets, I actually think that whether — I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means. We have seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with TRUTH Social and other means, and there's a very real risk of political corruption. So, again, I respect the attorney general's discretion here, but I do think that he should be treated equally under the law."
