Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at North Carolina Aviation Museum, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024, in Asheboro, N.C. paperwork filed ahead of oral arguments next monthappeal is awash in “meritless legal arguments” and ignores volumes of trial evidence showing that he and his co-defendants engaged in"fraud and illegality on an immense scale."Trump, his company and top executives including his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
The Appellate Division could either uphold Engoron’s verdict, reduce or modify the penalty or overturn the decision entirely. If Trump is unsuccessful at the Appellate Division, he can ask the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, to consider taking his case. If he wins, he won’t have to pay the state anything and will get back his bond money.
In their response Wednesday, state lawyers said the statute of limitations was applied properly and that state law authorizes the state's attorney general to take action against fraudulent or illegal business conduct,"regardless of whether it targets consumers, small businesses, large corporations, or other individuals or entities."
Engoron found that Trump, his company and top executives schemed for years to puff up his financial statements to create an illusion that he and his properties were more valuable than they really were. Trump inflated his net worth on the financial statements by as much as $800 million to $2.2 billion a year, state lawyers said.
