Judge fines Donald Trump more than $300 million, bars him from running businesses in N.Y. for three years
NBCNews ^ | 02/16/2024

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.

No kidding

It’s quite obvious that Democrats can do any crimes that they want but people can’t recognize this insane partisan targeting of President Donald Trump.

We are seeing what will become more and more common in the future. If you are on the wrong side of the political divide, you will be sued to your financial death.

All they’ve got to do is find the right liberal judge, one who’s willing to put the concept of justice aside. Unfortunately, there are plenty of such judges to choose from.

Didn’t he put all his assets in a trust when he became president? Trump may be what some people call judgement proof.

Stupid law is ex post facto and designed to single out a specific person.

Out PDJT, The GOAT, says it all the time.
They’re not going after him, they are going after YOU , but he’s standing in the way.

They got Navarro. And others.

Take out the Generals - the troops will falter.

When the same corrupt characters come after you . . . there won’t be any one left to fight back.

Fag “judges”. America has way too many of them. “Juries” are even worse. A bunch of liberal fags always wanting to “send” somebody “a message”. Stupid morons love being in court so much they all should be locked up.

Hasn’t Trump moved every last trace of his business out of that manure lagoon yet? On his way out he should demolish every property he owns.

No evidence of fraud, merely the assertion by his political enemies that he overvalued his properties. Grotesque.

I really fear they will arrange Trump's assassination before the election.

Just like the Gracchi.

That judge is absolutely evil. Trump did not get a fair trial and I’m sure he’ll appeal it. Still, third world politics on display here, just like one would expect to see in Venezuela.

Any business type with half a brain should leave NY. If you are a constant target for selective prosecution based on specious legal theories, then Florida, Texas and the Carolinas become far more attractive as business destinations.

Yes it makes President Trump all the more sympathetic, more in tune with the average guy on the street who has been a victim of an unjust legal process.

RATS are their own worse enemies. NY City and the State is in dire straits financially, yet this dimwit, and fat A.G. Letitia James decide to bar a long-time successful NY City businessman from generating business, wages, and taxes for three years in the City. Cut your nose off to spite your face morons. I hope Trump can sue these assholes into bankruptcy. At least make them pay his legal fees.

The President must appeal this today. This is #NewYorkStateofAnarchy at its most detestable.
