Trump Tantrum: Massive Fraud Judgment Looms
A New York court initially fined Donald Trump $454 million for fraudulently overvaluing his assets, a ruling he is appealing. Trump claims this was politically motivated “lawfare,” citing the alleged improper handling of his case by judges. While an appeals court showed skepticism towards the initial ruling, Trump still faces over $500 million in fines. His appeal, secured with a $175 million bond from a less-than-reputable surety company, hinges on overturning the original verdict.
