Donald Trump's imminent return to the White House will not affect his $454 million civil fraud judgment, a lawyer for New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote in a letter to attorneys representing the president-elect Tuesday.
Trump and his two adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, owe $490 million in total, including interest, to the state of New York after a judge ruled that they repeatedly lied about Trump's net worth to gain an advantage in loan negotiations. While criminal cases targeting Trump over covering up hush-money payments, election racketeering and other charges have been dropped due to the election results, presidents do not have immunity from civil litigation.
