Appeals court hears arguments over Trump's $454m civil fraud judgment
Briefly

Trump's legal team argues that Attorney General Letitia James is unfairly targeting him, suggesting this case is a politically motivated attack rather than a legitimate legal proceeding. They claim the case is unprecedented and infringes upon Trump's rights, warning that such rulings might deter businesses from operating in New York due to fear of similar legal actions.
In responding to Trump's appeal, Attorney General James's office contended that Trump and his executives deliberately inflated his net worth by $2.2 billion through misleading financial statements. The legal team emphasized that this fraudulent activity was not merely a one-time mistake, but a calculated strategy to secure favorable financial deals with major institutions.
