Legal judgments against Donald Trump are beginning to add up and have already surpassed $500 million.
In addition to judgments in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and the latest huge penalty in his civil fraud case. there’s interest on all of his legal judgments that are added every day.
Some or most of those judgments will be reduced on appeal. Although hard to prove political bias, some statements by the presiding judge in the civil fraud trial show a distinct animus against Trump.
The civil fraud case where Trump was assessed a fine in excess of $350 million is especially open to adjustment. And the two defamation judgments against Trump are almost certain to be reduced on appeal.
Trump is currently on the hook for $542 million in legal judgments plus interest which currently stands at $99 million.
Trump also has some minor judgments, including $110,000 for refusing to comply with a subpoena in the civil fraud case and $15,000 for repeatedly violating a gag order.
Trump’s civil fraud appeal will go before an intermediate-level court first. If he’s unsuccessful, Trump would then try to get the state’s top appellate court to take the case.
