A New York appeals court has voided a roughly half-billion dollar civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump, two of his sons and the Trump Organization but the court upheld the fraud judgment against the president. Thursday’s decision by a panel of five New York appellate judges ruled the financial penalty to be an “excessive fine” that violates the Eighth Amendment. Donald Trump and his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are still temporarily barred from doing business in New York. State Attorney General Letitia James promised an appeal, adding in a statement, “It should not be lost to history: yet another court has ruled that the president violated the law, and that our case has merit.”
