A former spokesperson for Donald Trump revealed he has a handful of real estate properties that he considers his "babies" — and if New York Attorney General Letitia James seized them, it would leave the former president 'devastated."
Stephanie Grisham, who served as White House communications director from July 2019 until April 2020, was talking to CNN's Erin Burnett Monday after Trump's lawyers revealed they have been unable to secure a bond to cover the $464 million in damages he owes after being found liable for fraud.
The money is due next week, and James has vowed to seize Trump's properties if he fails to pay.
"I think if it were to happen, 40 Wall Street is probably the one that he would, I mean, he would hate it,' Grisham said.
"But I think if she tried to seize Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster or Trump Tower even, I mean, those are his babies."
What would really hurt, she said, is if Trump lost ownership of any of his properties that have golf courses associated with them.
"You've got the Sterling golf course in Virginia. Any of the properties with golf courses, I think, would absolutely devastate him."
Grisham added that for Trump, who has frequently bragged about his wealth, having his inability to pay $464 million aired in public is going to be embarrassing.

The fact that this is now being covered by the media, this is going to be very, very hard on his ego," she said.
"And not just Donald Trump, but the entire family. This is going to hurt them. It's going to hurt their egos and I'm sure soon, it'll be tonight, maybe tomorrow. We're going to hear about the left-wing Democrats going after him, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera."
Shortly after Grisham spoke, Trump posted on his Truth Social site — and he did attack the judge and prosecutor in the fraud case for being politically biased.
