Trump appeals 'egregious' $454m civil fraud verdict

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : "Engoron presided over the civil fraud trial and ruled on February 16 that Trump must pay $355m in penalties after he had "blatantly false financial data" to secure favorable business terms.
37% : His lawyers also argued that James, who brought the civil lawsuit against Trump in September 2022, was attempting to facilitate an "unauthorized, unprecedented power grab" and that failing to dismiss the judgement would bestow the attorney general "limitless power to target anyone she desires, including her self-described political opponents".
34% : In April, Trump posted a $175 million bond to delay collection of the judgement and prevent James' office from seizing his assets while he appeals.
21% : The judge also barred Trump from running any New York company for three years, while Eric and Don Jr were barred for two years.
