Aaron Katersky and Peter Charalambous report for ABC News that New York Attorney General Letitia James said she will seize the former president's assets if Donald Trump does not pay the $354 million he was ordered to pay in his civil fraud case. James said, "If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets." Last week Trump was fined $354.8 million plus about $100 million in interest after Judge Arthur Engoron said that he inflated his net worth in order get more favorable loan terms. James even said she could seize Trump's 40 Wall Street skyscraper. James said, "We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day." Read more about this story at ABC News.
