The former president’s lawyers argue that severe errors were committed by Judge Arthur Engoron.
Former president Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, July 13, 2024. has appealed a $450 million verdict against him in the New York attorney general’s civil business fraud case in which a judge found that the GOP presidential nominee was responsible for a decade’s worth of cheating business partners.
On Feb. 16, Engoron found that illegal acts were committed when the defendants deceived lenders and insurance companies by inflating the value of Trump’s properties and other assets in annual financial statements between 2011 and 2021 in order to get better interest rates and lower insurance costs. Trump and his lawyers have always said that none of the parties they made deals with were cheated.
Trump’s side argued that Engoron ignored a pre-trial ruling by the appeals court that would have eliminated significant parts of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s case on statute of limitations grounds. That same decision outright dismissed Ivanka Trump from the matter, leaving her brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to face trial with their father.
“This appeal seeks reversal of the trial court’s legally bereft decisions which ignored the undisputed facts, refused to follow the binding mandate of the Appellate Division, imposed draconian, unlawful, and unconstitutional penalties, and willingly allowed a reckless, politically motivated Attorney General to meddle in lawful, private, and mutually profitable transactions,” Kise said.
