New York AG will continue to pursue $454 million civil fraud judgment against Trump
Donald Trump's impending inauguration does not impact his $454 million civil fraud judgment, the New York attorney general's office told Trump's lawyer Tuesday.
Summary
New York AG Letitia James will continue pursuing a $454M civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump despite his presidential return.
A 2023 ruling found Trump and his sons inflated his net worth to secure favorable loans, with interest raising the owed amount to $490M.
Trump has appealed, but the AG argues civil litigation does not interfere with presidential duties.
Trump's lawyer urged dismissal for national unity, citing dropped criminal cases, but James rejected the request.
A decision on the appeal is pending.
So I guess we're just all going to be paying that then? Even if he does pay up, it's going to be via our tax money he siphons/pilfers.
As though he'd be taking any less without the judgement against him.
Yup he'll take every penny he can manage regardless of what happens. I'd say just like last time but I imagine he'll do much worse in his next term.
Better the money go to the state than Trump.
True enough.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
at least someone has a spine
National unity my ass.
"As long as we all fall in with the criminals, we'll be united! Why won't you let us be united?!"
We can all unite against corporatists and billionaires

I hope he chokes on a hamberder.
It's such bullshit that this hasn't happened at the time of the judgement.
