New York Attorney General Letitia James Appeals Court Ruling that Tossed Trump Penalty
Breitbart ^ | 9/5/25 | Paul Bois

Posted on 09/05/2025 4:02:26 AM PDT by CFW

New York Attorney General Letitia James has appealed the court ruling that tossed out the intense penalty imposed on President Trump and his business following her civil fraud case.

“Her office filed a notice of appeal Thursday with New York’s highest court, signaling its intention to challenge a midlevel appeals court’s decision that wiped away the roughly $500 million penalty but otherwise affirmed the trial court,” reported The Hill on Thursday.

“Judges on the state Appellate Division’s First Department issued a deeply fractured decision last month upholding the lower court’s determination that Trump and other defendants, including his eldest sons, conspired to alter his net worth for tax and insurance benefits,” it added.

Despite the ruling, the midlevel court also called the financial penalty imposed on Trump’s business by Judge Arthur Engoron – $527 million – “excessive.”

According to CNBC News, a spokesman for the president’s legal team said the AG’s actions are nothing more than a “political crusade.”

Why aren’t the DNC Nasty Judgeez throwing a lot of these lawsuits out? The Judiciary has definitely become weaponized against the non-communists in the U.S. Loser pays is way over due. The majority of these goofy lawsuits are just hateful harassment against Americans.

She does this but there is no “good faith” for it to be in.

She’s so sure of the corrupt judges and courts that she isn’t afraid that the same measure that she dishes out will be dished to her in triplicate for her 3 instances of mortgage fraud.

Either that, or she’s an idiot. Probably both.

“This witch belongs in prison!”

Along with the others, but only for the time it takes to form a firing squad or build a gallows. Lawfare is serious and a message should be sent.

I hope the Appeals Court thwaps her silly. She deserves every ounce of official ridicule foisted upon her.

AG’s used to protect their citizens from real fraud, now it’s a 100% activist political position.

a deeply fractured decision

Having read the decision, the only "fracture" lay in the jurists' differing opinions as to WHY the fine awarded was bogus.

As to "upholding" the actual culpability of DJT and family, the majority decision deigned to not even address it.

I wonder what happened to her “sistah”, Big Fani. Did she go above the law.

Damn racist slut.


I’m pretty sure that guessing her options for someone wanting to navigate that ghettopotamus body are pretty low.
