A New York appeals court recently heard arguments from lawyers representing former President Donald Trump and the New York attorney general’s office regarding a $454 million civil fraud judgment. The main point of contention was whether the judgment should be upheld or thrown out due to the age of the alleged misconduct.
Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, contended that the case should be dismissed based on the statute of limitations and the law of case doctrine. He argued that the conduct in question was too old to be considered, citing a previous ruling by the court that excluded certain conduct and dismissed Ivanka Trump as a defendant.
