This comes after Trump&#8217;s attempt to delay the enforcement of these penalties \u200cby 30 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fines imposed on Trump \u2062amount to a staggering\u200c $354 million, accompanied \u2062by a \u200bthree-year ban on conducting business in\u2064 New York. Trump had hoped to present a counter-judgment to the one \u200cproposed by New York Attorney General \u2064Letitia James.\u200d However, Judge\u2062 Engoron dismissed this request, stating that Trump&#8217;s legal team failed \u200cto provide sufficient \u2063justification for a stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay,&#8221; Engoron <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/trump-asks-judge-delay-penalties-civil-fraud-case\/story?id=107433418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the proceedings, Trump&#8217;s lawyer, Clifford Robert, \u200dargued that denying the submission of a counter-judgment would undermine fundamental fairness \u200band due \u2062process.\u2062 Robert also accused James of rushing the process, violating standard\u2062 procedure for\u2064 such cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;The Court&#8217;s direction that it sees &#8216;no need for a motion or conference,&#8217; because the proposed Judgment &#8216;exactly \u200dtracks \u2063the&#8217; February\u2064 16 \u2062Decision,\u200c ignores the\u2063 fact that\u2064 the proposed Judgment expressly\u2062 states that a\u2063 motion has \u200bbeen made, which is simply wrong. The Attorney General has not filed any motion on notice, nor\u200b moved to settle the proposed Judgment; her unseemly rush to memorialize a &#8216;judgment&#8217; violates all\u200c accepted practice \u200din New York state court,&#8221; he wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the \u200ccase, Trump has consistently claimed that both the prosecution \u2064and the judge were politically motivated to harm him, especially as \u2063he \u200cgears \u2062up for another presidential campaign. Critics \u200chave expressed concerns about Judge Engoron, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-york-judge-caught-smiling-during-trump-trial-is-lifelong-democrat-donor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exclusively donated<\/a> to \u2062Democratic candidates \u2063over\u200c the past 25\u200d years. Similar concerns have been raised about \u200cAttorney \u200dGeneral James, who \u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/flashback-letitia-james-said-she-would-remove-trump-from-office-during-campaign-for-new-york-ag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ran\u2062 her campaign<\/a> on a platform of going after Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\"><b>CLICK HERE TO\u200b GET \u2062THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a \u200brecent development, James has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/letitia-james-threatens-to-seize-trumps-new-york-buildings-if-he-cant-pay-massive-350-million-fine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">threatened<\/a> to seize Trump&#8217;s New York properties if he fails to pay the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-happens-now-as-trump-seeks-to-overturn-civil-fraud-verdict\/\" title=\"What's next as Trump tries to reverse civil fraud ruling\">civil fraud fine<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment,\u200c then we will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/letitia-james-threatens-to-seize-trumps-new-york-buildings-if-he-cant-pay-massive-350-million-fine\/\" title=\"Letitia James warns of seizing Trump's NY properties if he fails to pay 0M+ fine\">seek judgment enforcement mechanisms<\/a> in court, and we will\u2063 ask the judge to\u2062 seize his assets,&#8221; James <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/letitia-james-shes-prepared-seize-trumps-assets-pay\/story?id=107381482\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> ABC News. &#8220;We are prepared\u2063 to make sure that\u2062 the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40\u200c Wall Street each and\u200b every day.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">James was referring to the Trump Building, a 72-story skyscraper \u2063with 1.3\u2063 million square \u200cfeet of \u2062office space located on Wall Street, right by\u2062 the New York Stock Exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What were the\u200b allegations \u2062against Trump \u2064in \u2064the civil fraud case related to Trump University?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  T:\u2063 400&#8243;>However, Judge Engoron found no merit in these arguments. He stated that Robert&#8217;s allegations did not provide a\u2063 valid basis for delaying\u200d the enforcement of the penalties against Trump. Engoron emphasized that the court had carefully considered the\u200c arguments made \u200bby both sides and had reached\u2062 a\u2062 decision based\u200c on\u200d the available evidence and legal principles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The civil fraud case\u2062 against Trump emerged from allegations that he\u2063 had engaged in deceptive practices \u200dwith his now-defunct Trump University. The university\u2063 was accused of making false promises\u2063 to students and defrauding them \u200dout of millions of dollars. \u200dAfter years of litigation,\u2064 a settlement \u2062was reached in\u200d 2016,\u200b with Trump agreeing \u200dto pay $25 million \u200cto resolve \u200bthe claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, this \u200drecent ruling by Judge Engoron imposed additional penalties on Trump, effectively increasing the financial consequences for his\u200d actions.\u2063 Apart from the $354\u2062 million in\u200d fines, Trump is now \u200calso \u2063barred from conducting \u200cany business activities in New York for a period of \u200cthree \u200cyears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These\u200d penalties are \u2063seen as \u2064significant setbacks for Trump, who has continued to assert his innocence \u2064in the face of\u200d these allegations. The financial burden imposed by the \u2064fines and the \u2064restriction on conducting business in \u200bNew York will undoubtedly impact his personal and professional life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Trump \u200bmay choose to appeal this ruling, Judge Engoron expressed confidence that the\u200d Appellate Division\u2064 would uphold his\u200c decision and protect \u200cTrump&#8217;s appellate \u2062rights. It\u2064 remains to be seen how this case \u200dwill proceed in the coming \u200cmonths\u2062 and what\u2063 further \u200clegal actions may be\u200b taken by both parties involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ruling by Judge Engoron serves \u200cas a\u2063 reminder\u2063 of the\u2063 importance of accountability and justice, regardless of\u200b one&#8217;s position or stature. It reaffirms the\u200c principle that no one is above\u200c the law\u200d and that all individuals must be held\u200c responsible for their actions. \u200cThis case also highlights \u2063the significance of the \u200blegal \u2063system in addressing allegations of fraud and \u200censuring fairness for\u2064 all parties involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the legal \u2064process\u200b continues, \u200dit \u200dis essential \u2063to uphold the integrity of the\u2063 judiciary and \u2064respect\u200b the decisions made by impartial judges. \u200dThe civil fraud\u2063 case against \u200bDonald Trump serves\u200b as \u200da significant precedent in holding individuals accountable for\u2064 their actions and sends a clear message \u200bthat fraudulent practices will not be tolerated.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge Arthur Engoron ruled to enforce the penalties against ex-President Donald Trump in his NY civil fraud case.
