Judge Orders Trump to Pay More Than $350 Million for Lying About His Wealth

A Manhattan judge ruled Friday that Donald Trump and his business should pay more than $350 million for misrepresenting his wealth for financial gain, and placed restrictions on some of the former president’s future business activity. Trump, who appears to be marching toward the Republican presidential nomination, has denounced the case as a partisan abuse of the justice system and vowed to fight on in higher courts. An appeals process could take more than a year, likely delaying any enforcement of the penalty and sanctions against him in the short term.
