New York appeals court tosses Letitia James’s $515 million Trump fraud penalty
- On Thursday, a New York appeals court dismissed the nearly $500 million penalty against Donald Trump related to fraud claims, but maintained that he is still responsible for fraudulent actions.
- The court found Judge Engoron's disgorgement order excessive and unconstitutional, while Trump and co-defendants denied wrongdoing and claimed political motivation.
- The case stems from a suit by Attorney General Letitia James accusing Trump of inflating his wealth to secure better loan terms, with penalties also levied on his sons.
- Judges wrote the injunctive relief curbs the defendants' business culture, but the $515 million fine violates the Eighth Amendment as an excessive punishment.
- The ruling allows further appellate review, keeps Trump’s fraud liability intact, and pauses corporate leadership bans during appeal while Trump's legal battles continue.
