Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently took a jab at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, highlighting his ongoing legal battles. The comment was made on social media platform X following a ruling against Trump in a civil fraud case by New York Judge Arthur Engoron.
In response to the ruling, Clinton's official account posted, 'Multiple indictments and half a billion dollars in civil liability later, pretty much the only person who can say they were better off four years ago is Donald Trump.'
The legal troubles for Trump stem from a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, resulting in a $464 million civil fraud judgment against him. Despite his attempts to delay payment and secure an appeal bond, Trump has faced challenges in meeting the financial requirements.

Judge Engoron's decision to deny Trump's request for a payment delay has sparked outrage from the former president, who expressed his frustrations on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump criticized the ruling, claiming it infringes on his appellate rights and describing the situation as a 'witch hunt' and 'election interference.'
While the judge allowed Trump and his sons to continue operating their business during the appeals process, the financial burden of the civil judgment remains a significant issue for the former president. His legal team has cited difficulties in obtaining the required appeal bond, labeling it a 'practical impossibility.'
The public exchange between Clinton and Trump underscores the ongoing political and legal tensions between the two figures. As the 2024 presidential race looms, these developments may continue to shape the narrative surrounding both individuals and their respective positions in the public eye.
