Lawyers for former President Trump took part in oral arguments for their appeal of the $478 million judgment in the New York civil fraud case. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin reports on what arguments Trump's team are making against the New York attorney general.

Donald Trump had a decent day in court on Thursday, as his lawyer pressed a panel of New York state appellate judges to upend the massive, nine-figure fraud ruling against the former president and his business empire. If the judges’ pointed questions to the state are any indication, then there’s a chance that New York Attorney General Letitia James’ stunning trial victory earlier this year could be curbed.

Vale maintained that there was a public impact, that public interest is at stake, and that in passing the executive law, the state legislature “was concerned with harms to the honest businesspeople” who “don’t do the misconduct.” It wasn’t all bad for the state. Presiding Judge Dianne Renwick pointed out during Vale’s grilling that the state executive law was passed to protect honesty and integrity in the marketplace, a line of thinking that supports the state’s broad use of the law.
