Summary

Don’t believe the Headlines; Trump is not the victor in the appeal of his $463 million dollar civil fraud judgment, although the lower level appellate court is sending it to the highest court in NY to decide whether any money should be “disgorged” from Trump and his family and executives, or if the injunction against his fraudulent business practices is enough. Michael Popok, who has argued before this very same appeals court, breaks it all down for you and makes sense of it all. Everyday Dose: Visit https://everydaydose.com/LAFBOGO for more details.

0:00.0	We got some breaking news involving Donald Trump and that over $500 million with interest civil fraud judgment against him that was pending in New York.
0:10.5	And it's not quite what the headlines are saying.
0:12.9	What the headlines are saying is that Donald Trump won and the New York Attorney General lost about the $500 million judgment.
0:20.3	Not quite. We are on our way to the top court in New York,
0:23.7	the Court of Appeals, because there was no majority decision, except they all agreed that Donald
0:30.4	Trump and those around him committed fraud, that Leticia James properly brought her case
0:36.6	under 63-12 of the laws of New York for persistent fraud,
0:41.9	that that liability case was proven and that she was entitled to at least an injunction against Donald Trump,
0:49.0	putting a monitor in place, a former federal judge to watch their businesses,
0:53.7	to make other changes in
0:55.2	their business model, and to make sure that they never commit fraud again. All that was fine by
1:01.1	four out of the five justices of the first appellate division of New York, which is the
1:07.5	Court of Appeals that sits over things in Manhattan. The highest court is the
1:12.3	Court of Appeals. So there's agreement on that. Fraud by Trump, a lawful case brought by Letitia James,
1:20.1	properly brought under the civil fraud statutes, and that an injunction was properly rendered.
1:25.8	Four to one. The one outlier, Justice Friedman.
1:29.1	We'll talk about him in a minute.
1:30.7	What was not agreed to?
1:32.6	Because there were three separate opinions, 333 pages in total.
1:38.9	No one opinion got a majority support.
1:43.7	But they agree and disagree in the following.
1:46.5	I had to do a map.
