A New York appeals court is set to hear arguments on Thursday in Donald Trump's attempt to overturn a civil fraud judgment. The judgment, which could disrupt his real estate empire, holds him liable for business fraud and orders him to pay nearly $500 million, including a $489 million verdict and $24 million in additional interest. The case, overseen by Justice Arthur Engoron, resulted from a bench trial and will be reviewed by a five-member panel of appellate judges. The outcome of this appeal could have significant financial implications for Trump, with the decision potentially arriving before Election Day.
