Trump, the Civil Fraud Case, Standing, and Juries
The judgment was for $355 million in penalties against Donald J. Trump for alleged fraud (disgorgement/ill-gotten gains) that, after all of the dust settles is actually around the tune of more than $464 million. The lawsuit was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James on behalf of the State of New York. New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron presided over the case, not allowing a jury, and ruling that all defendants were guilty and liable on all seven claims.
