Trump Ordered to Pay Over $350M in New York Civil Fraud Case

The ruling, which Trump is expected to appeal, also bars him from serving as an officer or director in New York corporations for three years.

  • Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Donald Trump and his companies must pay nearly $355 million in penalties for fraudulent business practices.
  • The verdict also imposes a three-year ban on Trump serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation.
  • Trump's adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, were ordered to pay $4 million each for their involvement in the fraud.
  • The ruling is a significant victory for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for deceptive practices in building his business empire.
  • Trump's legal team has announced plans to appeal the decision, calling it 'manifest injustice' and a 'politically fueled witch hunt.'
