‘A Disgusting Charade’: Trump Lashes Out at ‘Racist’ Letitia James After He’s Hit With $355 Million Judgment in Fraud Case
‘Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological,’ Judge Engoron wrote of the Trumps.
President Trump was hit with another hefty verdict at New York on Friday afternoon. A state supreme court justice, Arthur Engoron, published his long-awaited damages decision in the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization, ordering the former president and his family businesses to pay more than $355 million to the state of New York.

In September 2022, New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, sued Mr. Trump, his two adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, two former employees, his chief financial officer, Allan Weisselberg, and controller, Jeff McConney, and 10 of his companies for fraud. Ms. James accused the Trumps of falsifying business records in a decades-long scheme to gain favorable loans and policies from banks and insurers.
