NY Attorney General Pursues Lifetime Ban and $370M from Trump in Fraud Case

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking a $370 million penalty from Donald Trump following his civil fraud trial, a figure higher than the initially estimated $250 million. The trial, which concluded last month, demonstrated Trump's unlawful gain of that amount. Trump's lawyers have contested the allegations, claiming insufficient evidence, but the trial judge, Arthur F. Engoron, has previously ruled against Trump, finding him guilty of fraud. The final ruling is expected by the end of the month, with additional requests to bar Trump from New York's real estate industry and company leadership within the state.
