John Iadarola and Yasmin Kahn break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

Divided Court Eliminates Trump’s HalfBillionDollar Fine in Fraud Case

"A divided New York appeals court on Thursday threw out a half-billion-dollar judgment against President Trump, eliminating an enormous financial burden while preserving the fraud case against him, a remarkable turn in the battle between the president and one of his fiercest foes.

“While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half-billion-dollar award to the state,” wrote Peter Moulton, one of the appeals judges whose lengthy and convoluted ruling reflected deep disagreement among the five-judge panel.

While the court effectively upheld the fraud ruling against the president, several of the justices raised major questions about the case, which was decided by a state court judge. And their decision allowed Mr. Trump to move to New York’s highest court, giving him another opportunity to challenge the finding that he was a fraudster."
