Former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal against a $454 million civil fraud judgment in New York. The appeal challenges a judge's ruling that Trump lied about his wealth while building his real estate empire. The judgment, issued by Judge Arthur Engoron on February 16, found that Trump and his company deceived banks and insurers by inflating his wealth on financial statements.
The appeal, filed by Trump's lawyers, questions whether Judge Engoron made errors of law or fact and abused his discretion. The ruling imposes strict limitations on Trump's company, the Trump Organization, affecting its ability to conduct business.
