Kevin O’Leary takes on Letitia James in a heated exchange on CNN, shredding her arguments in a charged shouting match. In a fiery exchange on CNN, Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary took aim at Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, over the recent legal actions against former President Donald Trump. The contentious debate spiraled into a heated shouting match as O’Leary vehemently criticized the seizure of Trump’s assets and the imposing of a nearly half-billion-dollar bond.

O’Leary didn’t hold back, declaring, “Forget about Trump. Nothing to do with Trump. You think this is good for business in New York? You think this is good for business in America?” He raised concerns about the broader implications for America’s image and investor confidence, likening the actions to those seen in countries like Venezuela or Cuba.

Laura Coates, the CNN anchor, also engaged in the intense debate, defending the legal process while O’Leary continued to press his points about the potential chilling effect on investment and business confidence in New York and across the country.

The clash escalated as both O’Leary and Coates spoke over each other. Coates defiantly yelled back, “I have a wonderful voice and it won’t be talked over.” But O’Leary persisted, passionately pointing out the real-world consequences of penalizing developers based on disputed valuations, referencing the judge’s decision to penalize Trump for $355 million.

O’Leary’s critique extended to the unprecedented nature of the bond set for Trump, labeling it as a dire warning to investors worldwide. “And let’s make a penalty of half a billion dollars against a crime, apparently, where no monies were lost. Great message for New York, great message for America. Bring your capital because we’ll protect your property,” he stated.

The intense exchange reflects the divisive nature of the case and its implications for both politics and business. With Trump facing significant legal setbacks and potential asset loss, and O’Leary fiercely challenging the legal actions, the debate underscores the ongoing turmoil surrounding Trump’s business affairs and the broader questions of justice and fairness in America.
