On July 22, lawyers for former President Donald Trump appealed to a New York court to overturn the $454 million civil fraud judgment issued earlier this year.
In court documents filed with the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court’s First Department, New York’s mid-level court, Trump’s lawyers argued that Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron’s February 16 ruling, which claimed former President Trump made false statements about his wealth to insurers, banks, and other entities, was incorrect.
“Based on the ruling in this case, no company will want to come to New York to do business, and many businesses are fleeing,” his attorneys wrote. “The economic aspects of this decision are a disaster for New York.” The New York Attorney General’s office “has used the statute in a way never seen before,” they added.
