New York state lawyers have filed paperwork urging an appeals court to uphold Donald Trump's nearly $500 million civil fraud judgment. They argue that there is overwhelming evidence to support a judge's finding that the former president lied about his wealth for years as he built his real estate empire.
The New York Attorney General's office stated that Trump's appeal is filled with meritless legal arguments and ignores volumes of trial evidence showing fraud and illegality on a large scale. The appeal is set to be heard on September 26, just before Election Day.
