A New York appeals court is scheduled to hear arguments on Thursday in former President Donald Trump's attempt to have the $454 million civil fraud judgment against him dismissed. The appellate hearing comes amidst a series of legal battles for Trump, coinciding with the final stages of his presidential campaign.
In February, state Judge Arthur Engoron issued a $454 million judgment against Trump, his sons, and his business, holding them liable for fraud, false financial statements, and false business records. The judgment stemmed from allegations that Trump and his co-defendants inflated the value of his assets to secure more favorable loan and insurance rates.
