NY State Court's huge civil fraud penalty against Trump reversed by New York appeals court

Excerpt:
"New York state appeals court on Thursday threw out an approximately half-billion-dollar penalty that Donald Trump had been ordered to pay after a judge found the U.S. president fraudulently overstated the value of his properties and other assets to bolster his family business.
The decision by a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division in Manhattan represented a defeat for New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the civil fraud lawsuit against Trump in 2022."

The Marxist judge and prosecutor need to spend some time in a gulag of their own making they were hoping to send Trump to (oh, and send that hand picked commie NY jury with them).| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
