US EditionDonald Trump Celebrates Legal Win Against Letitia James
New York appeals court ruled the $355 million civil penalty against Donald Trump excessive, citing the Eighth Amendment; business operation bans remain for Trump and his sons.
- A New York appeals court on Thursday unanimously threw out the $355 million civil penalty against Donald Trump for allegedly inflating his real estate values in February 2024.
- The penalty originated from a September 2022 lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James accusing Trump of overstating property values to secure loans about a decade earlier.
- The five-judge panel found the nearly half-billion-dollar fine excessive and in violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive fines in a juryless trial.
- Trump declared "TOTAL VICTORY" after the ruling removed the fine, which had grown above $450 million with interest, though bans on his serving in certain New York roles remain.
- The decision limits financial penalties in civil cases against Trump and signals possible further appeals, while Justice Department probes into James continue.
