About Trump Escapes $500M Fine In New York, Fraud Ruling Upheld

A New York appeals court recently voided a $500 million fine against Donald Trump, upholding his fraud liability but diverging on legal application, with some justices calling for a new trial and others urging dismissal. The ruling affirms the authority of Attorney General Letitia James to pursue the civil case, which accuses Trump of inflating his net worth. Restrictions on his company remain, including a two-year ban on his sons serving as officers in New York. Trump celebrated the decision as a political victory, while James plans to seek higher court review.
