Former President Donald Trump asked the judge overseeing the civil fraud case to delay enforcing the $355 million judgment against him for one month.
In a letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, Trump’s attorneys accuse New York Attorney General Letitia James of an “unseemly rush” to enforce the judgment by submitting a proposal for the judge to sign just days after the ruling.
Trump has 30 days from when a judgment is entered to post bond and appeal.
Last week, the judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest and imposed a three-year ban from acting as an officer of a New York business.
There are several deals he made that are, in the findings of the case, considered to have been facilitated by fraud. Since any income from these deals is therefore considered to be “ill-gotten gains”, the full income from them is the amount in question here. So it’s like, he defrauded people in order to sell $355m of property so he loses the income generated by that fraud
