Trump, adult sons and former Trump Org. officials appeal civil fraud judgment in New York

Former President Donald Trump, his adult sons, and two former Trump Organization officials have appealed the $464 million judgment entered against them in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case.

The Trumps filed a notice of appeal with the court on Monday, the first business day after Judge Arthur Engoron made the judgment official. Donald Trump is personally on the hook for $454 million, including interest payments.

In the filing, the attorneys said they were appealing the money judgment and other relief, including the bans against the Trumps from serving as officers of New York corporations for a period of years and whether the judge “committed errors of law and/or fact, abused its discretion, and/or acted in excess of its jurisdiction.”

This story is breaking and will be updated.

It is not immediately clear how Trump plans to cover the money needed for the appeal though

Of course he did. The only thing if he loses is that he has to pay all the interest.

He thinks he'll be President and can get the debt washed away.

It was always going to go to appeals which is why it wasn't a jury trial.

And Trump will win because the fact that the judge appraised Mar a Lago so obscenely low the appeals court will most likely say that the judge erred in his assessment, therefore the underlying facts were wrong.

Wonder which oligarch monied up the money.

It wasn't a jury trial because Trump's lawyer didn't ask for it. Which Trump complained about.

And Trump will win because the fact that the judge appraised Mar a Lago so obscenely low the appeals court will most likely say that the judge erred in his assessment, therefore the underlying facts were wrong.

The rights to use Mar-A-Lago to be used as anything but a social club were signed away in perpetuity, in order to lower the assessment and tax bill. By Trump.

Letitia James Seizes Mar-a-Lago, Sells It For $740 Million

NEW YORK, NY — New York District Attorney Letitia James followed through on her threat to seize the property of Trump by grabbing up the former president's estate, Mar-a-lago. The top lawyer for the Big Apple then turned around and sold the property for $740 million.

"Some say I flipped the estate for 100% profit, but they're wrong," said James, "Since the property was assessed at $18 million by esteemed, incorruptible, real estate expert Judge Arthur Engoron, the state of New York came out with a profit of 4,100%."

Former President Donald Trump argued vehemently against the actions of DA Letitia James, saying she actually sold Mar-a-lago at a loss, claiming it was actually worth $30 billion-trillion.

"She's a horrible real estate businesswoman, to be honest," said Trump, "Plus she's really, really fat. I wouldn't date her even if she were selling Trump Tower back to me for a penny!"

At publishing time, New York Mayor Eric Adams had announced that, thanks to huge profits from the Mar-a-Lago seizure/sale, illegal immigrants would now each receive an American Express Black Card.
