On Friday, New York state Judge Arthur Engoron handed down the verdict in Donald Trump’s civil fraud case. Engoron ordered Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, along with other officers, to pay over $360 million. Trump himself is banned from running any corporation in New York for three years; his sons are banned for two.
Prosecutors argued that Trump had lied on government financial statements, allowing him to receive more favorable loans from lenders. One of the most striking examples in the case concerned Trump’s triplex apartment in Trump Tower, which records showed was reported to be 30,000 sq ft but is closer to 11,000 sq ft.
