"Judge Engoron's Verdict: Trump's Reckoning and Potential Appeal"

Judge Engoron is set to reveal the penalty against Donald Trump and his real estate company in response to New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud allegations, which accuse Trump of inflating property values to obtain financial benefits. The penalty could reach $370 million, and Trump may face a ban from operating any business in New York state. With an estimated net worth of $2.6 billion, Trump's liquid assets could be significantly impacted by the combined penalties from this case and a separate defamation trial. Trump continues to deny any wrongdoing, claiming the case is politically motivated, while James asserts that the trial has exposed significant financial fraud.

Trump Calls for 'Citizen's Arrest' of Judge and NY Attorney General Amid Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump reposted a comment on social media suggesting that the New York attorney general and the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial should be put under "citizen's arrest."

State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, presiding over Donald Trump's New York fraud trial, issued a written order stating that Trump's testimony during a gag order hearing "rings hollow and untrue" and that it was "unmistakably clear" that he intentionally violated the gag order.
