Trump would be the 47th president if elected again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The website says it has no connection to Trump\u2019s campaign, though Trump campaign officials promoted the appearance in online posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump later lashed out at Justice Arthur Engoron, who on Friday ordered him as well as his eldest sons and associates to pay over $354.9m plus pre-judgment interest after finding them guilty of intentionally committing financial fraud over the course of a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing supporters for the first time since the ruling, the frontrunner for the Republican White House nomination told thousands of supporters at a campaign rally in\u00a0Michigan\u00a0the decision was an \u201celection interference ploy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made the unsubstantiated claim that the judge was part of a \u201cleft wing\u201d conspiracy aimed at stopping him from becoming president again, adding that \u201cthese repulsive abuses of power are not just an attack on me, they are an attack on all Americans\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also repeated his lie that his 2020 election defeat to Democratic US President Joe Biden was due to election fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engoron also banned Trump from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years. The judge said of Trump and his co-defendants: \u201cTheir complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New York attorney general Letitia James had accused Trump and his family businesses of overstating his net worth by as much $3.6bn a year over a decade to fool bankers into giving him better loan terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also faces four state and federal criminal trials, including one scheduled to start in New York on 25 March, over alleged hush money payments to a porn star. That means Trump will become the first former US president to stand trial on criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump spoke shortly after Nikki Haley, his last remaining rival for the Republican presidential nomination, who held an event in South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday morning, Haley wasted no time in going after Trump after Friday\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haley frequently says \u201cchaos\u201d follows Trump, and that he can\u2019t be an effective president or candidate because of his myriad legal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to be in court March and April. He\u2019s going to be in court May and June. He said himself that he\u2019s going to be spending more time in a courtroom than he is on the campaign trail,\u201d Haley told Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump is close to clinching the Republican presidential nomination, and the prospect of a likely general election rematch with Biden, after recent nominating contest wins in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haley, who has no clear path to the Republican nomination, has refused to quit. She is making a potential last stand in her home state of South Carolina, which holds its primary on 24 February, where she trails badly in opinion polls behind Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At her rally on Saturday evening, Haley also attacked Trump for his failure to comment on the death of Alexei Navalny, Russia\u2019s most prominent opposition leader. At his Michigan rally, Trump again failed to mention Navalny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia\u2019s prison service said that Navalny, 47,\u00a0died on Friday\u00a0at the \u201cPolar Wolf\u201d Arctic penal colony. The west, including Biden, blamed Russian president Vladimir Putin for the death. Western leaders did not cite evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haley, addressing a crowd in Irmo, South Carolina, accused Trump of cozying up to Putin in the past. She also referred to a\u00a0speech Trump made on 10 February, when he said he would \u201cencourage\u201d Russia to do \u201cwhatever the hell they want\u201d to any Nato member who didn\u2019t spend enough on defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrump is siding with a thug who kills his own political opponents,\u201d Haley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
