Verdict in Donald Trump's civil fraud trial expected Friday, capping busy week of court action

NEW YORK (AP) — A verdict is expected Friday in Donald Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, adding to a consequential week on the former president’s legal calendar.

Trump could be hit with millions of dollars in penalties and other sanctions in the decision by Judge Arthur Engoron, who has already ruled that the former president inflated his wealth on financial statements that were given to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $370 million and a ban on Trump and other defendants from doing business in the state. A penalty like that could potentially wound the real estate empire that helped Trump craft his image as a savvy billionaire businessman and vaulted him to fame and the White House.

that's it. Needs to be much more. But alas, shithole doesn't too often pays.

But alas again, he's willing to allow Putin to kill millions including USA citizens because some NATO countries have not paid their bill.

He and his spawn can also lose their licenses to do business in NY which means the empire of grift will be dead.

It's all, or most of his businesses AND the money. I'm good with that as long as those with judgements for awards are paid in full.
