Arthur Engoron, the New York judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial, has finally issued a ruling in the case.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned on ‘getting’ Trump, sought $370 million in damages and a permanent ban on the former president doing any business in the state.
Engoron has ruled that Trump and his family must pay more than $350 million in fines to New York while also banning him from operating his business in the state for three years, Fox News reported.
“James had sought $370 million, plus 9% interest in penalties from Trump. Any awarded funds would go to the New York State Treasury, unless directed elsewhere by the state comptroller,” the outlet continued.
