New York Attorney General Letitia James appeared to taunt former President Trump about the interest he may own in a civil fraud judgment.
Trump’s legal team on Monday appealed a Feb. 16 ruling from New York Judge Arthur Engoron’s finding him liable for more than $350 million in damages in the civil fraud case brought against him by James. Engoron ordered Trump to pay just over $354 million, with post-judgment interest accruing at nearly $112,000 per day.
“In a massive victory, we won our case against Donald Trump for engaging in years of incredible financial fraud to enrich himself. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and his former executives must pay over $450 million in disgorgement and interest,” James wrote on X, celebrating on the same day of the judgment.
On Feb. 23, James, who has denied having a “personal vendetta” against Trump despite remarks suggesting otherwise, posted flatly, “$464,576,230.62.” *** The former president’s lawyers filed notices of appeal Monday, asking the state’s mid-level appeals court to overturn Engoron’s Feb. 16 verdict in James’ lawsuit and reverse staggering penalties that threaten to wipe out Trump’s cash reserves.
Trump’s lawyers wrote in court papers that they are asking the appeals court to decide whether Engoron “committed errors of law and/or fact” and whether he abused his discretion or “acted in excess” of his jurisdiction. A notice of appeal starts the appeals process in New York. Trump’s lawyers will have an opportunity to expand on their grievances in subsequent court filings.
Trump was not required to pay his penalty or post a bond in order to appeal, and appealing will not automatically halt enforcement of the judgment.

Here comes the Judge!
if anyone needs a gag order it’s this corrupt ag.
Instead of paying the interest, hire a couple of outlaw biker gangs for an “outside the box” solution.
She's a New York Democrat. Of course she's corrupt.
This RACIST ho needs to be arrested for using lawfare against a Caucasian male presidential candidate as revenge for all the cotton she was forced to pick during her mythical “slavery” days. She’s a moron. A single digit I.Q., affirmative action moron.
Pretty obvious that she’s engaging in corrupt, biased and abusive behavior and of course targeted the President politically.
Where oh Where is the ABA and Project 65?
Oh that’s right. Off engaging in legal terrorism against Republicans.
And the SCOTUS sits demurely in the corner letting it all go down.
The rope dispenser just fed out another ten feet of rope.
“This RACIST”
I forgot to add that too.
It’s clear she her “prosecution” is based on racial animus and jealousy.
Not only should the entire case be overturned, but she should be disbarred from the legal profession forever.
In all fairness, the Supreme Court just might want you to see this circus, and we all have center ring seats.
2024, The year black bureaucrats got hung out to dry.
She’s a New York Democrat. Of course she’s corrupt.
Corruption is a prerequisite to be a Democrat
Hilarious. Impulse control is in short supply for this particular group of folks it would seem. It never turns out the way think it will.
When Trump takes the oat of office, his first order should be to declare that we’ve had an invasion and that he is suspending </i>habeas corpus</i>. She could be one of the first to get sent to GITMO. There is no law in this country today, and we should stop pretending there is while patriots rot in the D.C. Gulag.

If I list my house at $500,000 and it sells for $400,000 would I be “breaking” the same law Trump broke?
Flip Wilson?
The devil made me do it.
Letittya is sooooo professional, isn’t she?
