New York Attorney General Letitia James spearheading the civil fraud case against former president Donald Trump, took a trip to Washington, D.C., Tuesday to address a crowd of protesters outside the Supreme Court and encourage them to \u2018march to the polls and vote.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

James spoke to a crowd gathered outside the high court as justices inside were hearing debates challenging the federal regulation of the abortion pill mifepristone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018[Get] your hands off our body. Because it\u2019s our body, our choice. We will fight. We will win. And we will protect abortion rights now and forever,\u2019 James shouted from the podium.<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s go, women. And let\u2019s march to the polls and vote!\u2019 she exclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear exactly what election in which she was encouraging women to vote, and she didn\u2019t explicitly name a candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The presumptive nominee in the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party \u2014 whose platform generally reflects limiting abortion access \u2014 is Donald Trump, whom James is suing.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a New York appeals court ruled dealt a significant blow to James\u2019 case by slashing Trump\u2019s $454 million bond by 60% \u2014 allowing him to appeal the case further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

James sued Trump under a New York State Executive law that gives broad investigative authority and that was designed to protect against consumer fraud.<\/p>\n

She accused him and his company of inflating the values of properties in order to secure better rates on loans from banks. In this unusual case, the state couldn\u2019t prove obvious victims Trump had harmed that incurred major losses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge\u00a0Engoron in February sided against Trump, and imposed what\u2019s known as a \u2018disgorgement\u2019 \u2014 a legal remedy that requires someone who profited illegally to give back any profits made while engaging in the illegal activity. \u00a0<\/p>\n

But the appeals court slashed his judgment by more than half \u2014 ordering Trump to pay $175 million in 10 days, which he said he would do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I DID NOTHING WRONG, AND NEW YORK SHOULD NEVER BE PUT IN A POSITION LIKE THIS AGAIN. BUSINESSES ARE FLEEING, VIOLENT CRIME IS FLOURISHING, AND IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS BE RESOLVED IN ITS TOTALITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU!\u2019 Trump posted to his Truth Social account in all capital letters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for James on Monday said Trump \u2018is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization,\u2019 James\u2019 spokesperson said. \u2018The $464 million judgment \u2014 plus interest \u2014 against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.\u2019<\/p>\n

Trump has vowed to fight the case \u2018all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.\u2019<\/p>\n
