Judge Engoron orders Trump pay more than $350 million in NY fraud case

by | Feb 16, 2024

A judge in New York has ordered President Trump to pay more than $350 million and restrict him doing business in the state where he made his name.

Trump, 77, may lose control of Midtown's Trump Tower and his other illustrious New York properties as a result of the Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ruling, should it survive an inevitable appeal.

This is another financial blow dealt to the Republican presidential frontrunner for 2024, just weeks after receiving an $83 million jury verdict in a defamation damages case in Manhattan federal court.
