‘Excessive': Trump rejoices as $700m New York fraud fine tossed out
New York: A Manhattan appeals court struck down a roughly $US500 million ($780 million) fraud penalty against US President Donald Trump and his company, even as it upheld the finding that he broke the law by inflating the value of assets such as Mar-a-Lago. A five-judge panel on Thursday, New York time, agreed with Trump that the size of the fine was unconstitutionally 'excessive'. The long-awaited ruling by New York's intermediate appeals court is a major victory for Trump over New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the case, though other aspects of the April 2024 judgment remain intact. On top of the financial penalty, Trump and his sons faced a temporary ban on serving as corporate officers in New York. The company was also ordered to submit its financial records for review by an independent monitor. Those sanctions stand, though they remain on hold for possible further appeal by Trump. In a statement, James said her office would challenge the ruling at the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court. She also stressed that 'yet another court has ruled that the president violated the law'. Still, the massive fine had been the heart of Justice Arthur Engoron's judgment. The judge had ordered Trump last year to pay $US355 million in penalties after finding that he flagrantly padded financial statements provided to lenders and insurers. With interest, the sum has topped $US515 million. Additional penalties for executives at his company, the Trump Organisation, including sons Eric and Donald Trump jnr, have brought the total to $US527 million with interest. The elimination of the fine adds to the list of Trump's legal woes that have essentially melted away since he won re-election as president. The Justice Department dropped two federal criminal cases agaist him, citing a longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Though he was convicted of falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, he was sentenced to no jail time.
