Former President Donald Trump’s legal team appeared in a New York City appeals court this week to challenge a massive $489 million civil fraud verdict that was issued against him and the Trump Organization. The case, which also involves his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, centers on accusations that the family business falsified financial statements to secure more favorable bank loans and insurance deals.
The appeal follows a court decision that found Trump and his organization guilty of inflating the value of their assets, including real estate. . .
