New York state attorneys have urged an appeals court to uphold a $500 million civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump, arguing that there is overwhelming evidence that he inflated his wealth to secure loans and profits. The appeal, which Trump has called “erroneous,” seeks to overturn a February ruling that found him guilty of extensive fraud. If the judgment is upheld, it could significantly impact Trump's personal wealth and his business operations. Oral arguments are scheduled for September, with a decision potentially arriving before the presidential election concludes.
