New York Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million, plus interest, after finding him liable for financial fraud.
In February, Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million, plus interest, and banned him from doing business in New York for three years after finding him liable for financial fraud in a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump’s two adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and two company executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeff McConney, were also named in the lawsuit and suffered penalties.
Trump, who is the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2024 presidential election, has maintained that he has done nothing wrong and claimed that the case was politically motivated. He is appealing Engoron’s ruling.
«This is no longer anything to do with Donald Trump whatsoever,» O’Leary said. «This is very concerning to what you think of as the American brand. The reason that we’re the number one economy on Earth is we provide stability in financial markets, through transparency, appellate systems in court, guarantee of law, property rights.
