Sorry, Letitia! NY Appeals Court Tosses Trump’s Civil Fraud Fine In ANOTHER Dem Lawfare Smackdown – Twitchy

It was clear that New York Attorney General Letitia James really enjoyed all the Dems’ lawfare efforts to “get” Donald Trump, but she won’t be smiling today.

Via the New York Post: 

A New York appeals court Thursday threw out the massive $464 million judgment dealt to President Trump after he was found liable at a civil trial for business fraud. 

The Appellate Division, First Department overturned the whopping fine in the case in which Trump, 78, was found to have fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars over a decade to get better loan and insurance terms. 

Trump would have had to pay a total of more than $500 million, including more than $100 million in interest, had the February 2024 ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron been upheld.

Another Dem lawfare effort bites the dust: 

🚨BREAKING: A New York Appeals Court has just THROWN OUT President Trump’s $364 Million civil fraud penalty!

HOLY CRAP this is HUGE!

This is the ruling from the CORRUPT Judge Engoron brought by none other than Letitia James.

In a thread, Jonathan Turley slammed the fine against Trump as being the “pinnacle of lawfare” efforts:

…The grotesque award of Judge Engoron will stand as the pinnacle the lawfare in New York — the utter abandonment of both any reason or restraint in the pursuit of political adversaries.
