A #NY appeals #court on Thursday threw out a half-billion dollar judgment against #Trump, eliminating the enormous financial penalty while declining to overturn the #fraud case against him.“While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion-dollar award to the state,” wrote Peter Moulton, one of the appeals judges whose lengthy & convoluted ruling reflected significant disagreement among the 5-judge panel.#civil #law #NYAG #Engoron

@Nonilex I know when I get a speeding ticket for zero dollars that certainly teaches me to not speed again

Trump’s appeal will now most likely move to #NY’s highest court, providing him another opportunity to challenge the finding that he was [is] a #fraudster.Thursday’s ruling handed #Trump a financial victory & represents a major setback for the #NYAG, #LetitiaJames, who is one of Trump’s foremost adversaries. The case had been a career-defining victory after she campaigned for the attorney general’s office promising to bring Trump to #justice.#civil #law #fraud #Engoron

However, the decision fell short of the legal vindication #Trump had been seeking in his fight against #NYAG James. In denying Trump’s bid to throw out the case, the court kept in place the ruling that he had committed #fraud, an ignominious distinction for a sitting #US president.#civil #law #Engoron

#NYAG James filed the case against #Trump & his family real estate business [The #TrumpOrganization] in 2022, accusing them of inflating his #NetWorth to obtain favorable #loan terms. After a monthslong trial, the judge overseeing the case ruled last year that Trump was #liable for #fraud, denting the real estate mogul image of success that underpinned his political rise [he’s just a #trustfund #nepobaby & an epic #scammer.#civil #law #Engoron

Thursday’s ruling came almost a year after judges heard oral arguments on the appeals case, an unusual delay that reflected the #legal & #political complexities of a case against a sitting president. The case infuriated #Trump, who has sought #revenge against #NYAG James. His *Justice* Department has opened multiple cases into her & her office.#civil #law #fraud #NYAG #Engoron #RevengePolitics #WeaponizationOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower

@glook State case. Not Federal. Otherwise it would undeniably have been dismissed.

@Nonilex What is the point of finding somebody guilty of crimes if you don’t punish them? Rich people are immune to the law in the USA.

@Nonilex So fraud is only a crime if you are not a lifelong criminal?
