James threatens to "seize" Trump assets

New York Attorney General Letitia James has said she is prepared to seize Donald Trump's building if he can't cover the $354 million fine he was recently hit with in his civil fraud case. James, who brought the lawsuit, sought $370 million in penalties and a ban on Trump and other defendants from doing business in the state. Trump's ultimate penalty is likely to swell to more than $400 million with interest. 

"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," James told ABC News. "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," James said, referring to Trump's building in Manhattan's financial district.
