Trump, however, dismissed the\u200c ruling as &#8220;Democrat Political Lawfare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Defendants&#8217; Propensity for Fraud<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On November 3, 2022, the judge determined\u200d that Trump, along with\u2062 his sons\u200c Donald Jr. and Eric,\u200c and members of the Trump organization, \u2062had a consistent pattern\u2064 of engaging in fraudulent activities. They had repeatedly submitted inaccurate financial statements on behalf of Donald J.\u200c Trump. \u2063 <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the defendants&#8217; attempt to dismiss the complaint, the court denied their motion on January 6, 2023. Unfazed, \u200dthe defendants appealed the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Trump took \u200dto\u2063 his social media platform, Truth Social, to respond to the verdict.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2063widespread attack against me,\u2064 my family, \u200cand my supporters has devolved to new, un-American\u2062 depths, at the hands of a \u2064DERANGED New York \u200dState\u2064 Judge, \u2064doing the \u2063bidding\u2063 of \u2062a completely biased and corrupt \u2018Prosecutor,\u2019 Letitia James,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/09\/27\/donald-trump-slams-ny-judges-fraud-ruling-as-un-american\/\">wrote<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cThis\u2062 is\u200b Democrat Political Lawfare, and a Witch Hunt at a level never seen \u2064before. \u200bIt is an attempt\u2062 to \u2062badly injure the opposing Party\u2019s Leading, by far, Political Candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u200d added, \u201cNothing like this has ever happened in our Country before. My Civil\u200b Rights have been violated, and some Appellate Court, whether Federal or State, must reverse this horrible, un-American decision. If \u200dthey can do this to\u2064 me, they can do this \u2062to YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump has\u200c consistently argued that his financial statements were not fraudulent\u200c due to the inclusion of Disclaimers. However, Engoron dismissed this argument, stating that\u2062 the defendants&#8217; reliance on\u200c these\u200b Disclaimers was \u2062worthless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A memo\u200b from NY Attorney General Letitia James, supporting\u200b the plaintiffs&#8217; motion, revealed that the\u200c defendants had followed a \u2063consistent procedure each year to create false and misleading statements of financial condition. These statements included inflated \u200dvalues for Trump&#8217;s assets, primarily real estate holdings, and subtracted associated\u200c liabilities\u2064 to \u2064determine his net worth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his ruling issued on Tuesday,\u200b Engoron emphasized that a <em>parens patriae<\/em> action, which allows the state to protect the public \u2063interest, \u200bwas applicable in this case. He\u2064 criticized the Trump legal \u200bteam&#8217;s reliance on what he \u200bdeemed as\u2062 &#8220;bogus \u2062arguments,&#8221; such as equating regulated and\u2064 unregulated apartments or disregarding \u200drestrictions on \u2064land value.<\/p>\n<p>This ruling is \u2063just one of many legal actions Trump has\u200c faced during his presidential bid. He has condemned these indictments, both\u2063 federal and state-level, as \u200battempts to hinder his reelection campaign.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What is the process for the\u200d appeal filed by Trump and his co-defendants, and\u2063 how will the New York State OAG respond to attempts to overturn the Supreme Court decision<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Supreme Court. This is nothing more than Democrat Political Lawfare. We will appeal this ridiculous decision and \u200dcontinue to fight for the\u2063 truth!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Evidence of Fraudulent Financial Statements<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The evidence presented\u2063 by the OAG showed that Donald J.\u200c Trump, and those associated with him, had knowingly provided\u200c false and\u200d misleading financial statements when \u200bseeking loans. \u200cThese statements were \u200cused to deceive lenders into providing financial support for various projects. The\u2062 court found that such actions constituted \u200b&#8221;persistent fraud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, the ruling highlighted that\u200b this pattern of fraudulent behavior \u2062was \u200dnot an isolated \u2062incident. The defendants had a long history of\u200c submitting inaccurate financial statements, suggesting a clear intention to mislead and \u2062defraud.<\/p>\n<h3>Judge&#8217;s Decision and Impact<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Justice Arthur \u200cEngoron&#8217;s ruling holds significant implications for Donald J.\u200c Trump and his family. It signifies that they can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-no-more-free-passes-sen-rubio-to-introduce-legislation-that-would-halt-big-techs-censorship-of-americans\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: \u2018No More Free Passes\u2019: Sen. Rubio To Introduce Legislation That Would Halt Big Tech\u2019s Censorship Of Americans\">held legally responsible<\/a> for their fraudulent actions, even after his presidency. The ruling also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability, particularly for public figures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This decision may have broader consequences as well. It sets \u2062a precedent\u200d for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-judge-rules-trump-liable-for-fraud-trump-this-is-democrat-political-lawfare\/\" title=\"NY Judge finds Trump guilty of fraud; Trump claims it's Democrat political lawfare.\">future cases\u2064 involving similar fraudulent activities<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-epstein-madam-wouldnt-help-find-tapes-of-bill-clinton-because-it-would-hurt-hillarys-2016-run\/\" title=\"Report: Epstein Madam Wouldn\u2019t Help Find Tapes Of Bill Clinton Because It Would Hurt Hillary\u2019s 2016 Run\">high-profile individuals<\/a>, emphasizing that no one is above\u200d the law. \u2063It sends a message that the justice system will diligently investigate and hold accountable those who engage in illegal activities, regardless of their social or political standing.<\/p>\n<h3>The Appeal Process<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the initial ruling, Trump and his co-defendants filed an appeal, hoping to overturn the Supreme Court decision. The appeal process will involve presenting arguments and evidence to a higher court, aiming to demonstrate that\u2064 the ruling was legally flawed or unjust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the appeal is underway, the plaintiffs, represented by the New York State OAG, will actively oppose any attempts to overturn the ruling. They will present their own evidence and \u2063legal arguments to support the original decision made by Justice Engoron.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling finding former President Trump liable for &#8220;persistent fraud&#8221; is a significant development \u200din the legal pursuit of accountability. It\u2062 represents a step towards holding public figures \u2063accountable for their\u200d actions, reaffirming the\u200b principle that no \u2063one is above the law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the appeal \u200bprocess continues, the outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications. Regardless of the ultimate result, this \u2063ruling serves as\u200c a reminder that the justice system will diligently investigate and address fraudulent activities, even at the highest levels of power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron found former President Trump guilty of &#8220;persistent fraud&#8221; based on false financial statements submitted to lenders.
