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.

That’s their MO.
“TRUMP IS A RAPIST”
“TRUMP IS A CROOKED BUSINESSMAN”
“TRUMP TRIED TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION”
Them refill his property taxes. Probably a huge refund.
This is beyond ridiculous.
The left is DESPERATE!
Of course, we’ll never find out.
President Trump will appeal the ruling and seek a stay to halt enforcement next week.
You spelled “tried for treason and executed” wrong...
Kick Angermoron’s ass on appeal.
How did the lawyers let the case get this far?
Mr. Gloom and Doom is loose again...
Omg.
I would not want to be in the trenches with you.
“Should be hanged!!”
It would only take a few minutes for any of us to put together a list of 200 that should be hanged starting with those in 2015 who said Trump’s servers were connected to Russia.
Refile
This is the definition of banana republic Coppola.
Sorry.
President Trump will appeal the ruling and seek a stay to halt enforcement next week.
Exactly.
These evil tools are outing themselves, as complete idiot hacks, for sure.
The crooked businessman headlines have been around for decades, at least in NY. Nothing new there.
Sorry.
Ditto...Come on Texas and Florida...Lets put the DA’s and courts in action.
GTFOH
Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Kommunist
Stupid law is ex post facto and designed to single out a specific person
Warfare now LAWfare.
