The New York Attorney General’s Office and Trump’s legal team will each get to make their final pitch to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron beginning at 10 a.m.
State lawyers earlier this month urged the court to fine Trump $370 million plus interest — up from the $250 million that the AG had proposed he pay before the trial started in October.
Attorney General Letitia James also sought to permanently bar Trump and his company from operating in New York for a decade of allegedly pumping the value of his assets on annual “statements of financial condition” turned over to lenders and insurers.
