Donald Trump’s legal team and state prosecutors went head to head in a New York appeals court on Thursday over his ongoing effort to throw out an approximately $500m civil fraud judgment against him.
The former US president is disputing the Manhattan supreme court judge Arthur Engoron’s 16 February decision after he found that Trump lied to financial institutions and insurers about his wealth. Trump’s case was litigated during a months-long civil trial in Manhattan in fall 2023.
