āAny foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price,ā warns Rep. Sean Casten
A Democrat who sits on the House Financial Services Committee warned that former President Donald Trumpās inability to secure a bondĀ for his $464 million fraud judgment makes him a āmassive national security risk.ā
Trumpās lawyers in aĀ filingĀ on Monday told a New York appeals court that he cannot secure a bond after approaching 30 underwriters.
āThe amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,ā the attorneys wrote.
The filing quoted an insurance broker who signed an affidavit stating that securing the bond is a āpractical impossibility.ā
It would be very interesting if a president was actually denied a security clearance
The president doesnāt actually hold a security clearance. Kushner was almost denied if I remember right, and definitely should have been.
