Quote:A New York judge on Friday ordered Trump to pay nearly $355 million – plus interest – for falsely altering his net worth on key financial statements to receive tax and insurance benefits.
The decisionfell slightly short of the penalties requested by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), who sued Trump in 2022 over deceitful business practices. However, with interest, the office said the figure will reach just over $450 million.
This is on top of the $83.3 million another New York City jury said Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her in 2019, when he denied the longtime advice columnist’s accusation that he sexually assaulted her decades earlier.
Together, the two penalties amount to a whopping $438.1 million – and interest on the fraud case fine could bring that number above $500 million.
