The judge who presided over a civil business fraud trial against Donald Trump and his company has issued his decision in the case.
Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the former president and the Trump Organization to pay over $364 million in damages, and bars Trump "from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years."
The judgment is the second this year against Trump after he was hit last month with an $83.3 million verdict in writer E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against him. The former president could also face four criminal trials this year as his presidential campaign barrels toward the November election, with the first set to begin in New York state court on March 25th.
New York Attorney General Letitia James had been seeking $370 million from Trump, his company and its top executives, including his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, alleging "repeated and persistent fraud" that included falsifying business records and financial statements. James had argued those financial statements were at times exaggerated by as much as $2.2 billion.

Engoron looks like a total sleazy creep.
That’s an asshole thing to say.
Stop donating your new York business $$$ to rat dem politicians.
If President Trump needs some money, we should all give him a large birthday gift.
Why would he need our money? Isn't he a billionaire? Any gift you or I could give him would be like loose change to him.
Trump showed us how disgusting and corrupt the inside the beltway crowd is.
And they are only getting worse.
Start praying like crazy.
I love Trump and will be voting for him again this November but he doesn't need the regular people sending him money.
As for the judgements against him, he'll prevail through his appeals.
Putin treats Christians WAY BETTER than Xiden regime.
Actually Putin has backed Hamas, colluded with Hillary Clinton, and supported BLM to weaken America. Putin is not MAGA's friend.

The decent citizens of the United States have a strong case to dissolve the union and tell hopelessly corrupt New York state to stuff it.
How many divisions can New York put in the field to attack the rest of us?
You can’t argue this miscarriage of justice cannot be overturned. To argue that is to argue for dissolution of the union which guarantees our rights.
The entire constitution was written to avoid this kind of tyranny.
The judge in this case is a pathetic and power-mad criminal himself.
They’re just taking Trumps property.
I think the time is very close to where they mandate citizens to house illegals. They’re in the asking phase right now. I mean, they just took someone’s property, just confiscated it.
pfl
what has that to do about Putin’s treatment of Christians? You always sidetrack from gist of message?
Republicans should meet democrats in dark alleys with baseball bats.
As Sean Connery said in the movie "Untouchables":
"They put one of ours in the hospital, we put one of theirs in the morgue. "
We need to quit being nice, and we need to quit pretending we aren't in a war.
I doubt he pays a dime.
what has that to do about Putin’s treatment of Christians?
You think a real Christian man supports Hamas, Hillary, and BLM? LOL
How will he prevent the release of the surety monies, short of a successful appeal? He may get that, though I would say that the odds are against it, but how will he stop that if he doesn’t?
Exactly! They literally passed the law and wrote it so it would only be useful in this one case
We knew this “judge“ had made his decision by day, one of the trial.
What sane developer will ever do business in NY after this? Talk about a state cutting its own throat.
New York City
Watch the impact this has...Many MORE NY’rs with money are about to exit Gotham and head south. This is indeed cutting one’s own throat.
