NY Court to Hear Trump's $454M Fraud Appeal on Sept 26

Aug 22, 2024, 01:30 PM

A New York appeals court is set to hear oral arguments on September 26 regarding Donald Trump's appeal of a substantial civil fraud judgment. The judgment, which amounts to $454 million, was initially ruled in February, with Trump and his co-defendants currently owing over $485 million. The New York State Attorney General's office, led by Letitia James, has filed a late-night request urging the court to uphold the judgment, citing overwhelming evidence that Trump misrepresented his wealth in building his real estate empire. The Attorney General's office argues that Trump's appeal is based on meritless legal arguments and ignores significant trial evidence.
