His property firm will remain intact, but with constraints. He will try to use the ruling to attack Joe Biden
bode well when a judge, before meting out a punishment, tells a defendant that his lack of remorse “borders on pathological”. Sure enough, that dressing-down of Donald Trump preceded an enormous fine in a civil ruling on February 16th. A judge in New York ordered him and his property business to pay $355m for cooking the books over several years. Time and again the Trump Organisation inflated asset values to secure better loan terms, the judge found.
The ruling from Judge Arthur Engoron was blistering, and followed an 11-week trial that began in October. The Trump Organisation was found to have overvalued assets by between $812m and $2.2bn from 2014 to 2021. Mr Trump’s repeated refusal to admit wrongdoing turned a “venial sin” into something more nefarious, wrote the judge. The former president and his co-defendants—his two eldest sons and two employees—adopted a “‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ posture that the evidence belies”.
Yet the ruling also contained a reprieve from one of Judge Engoron’s previous decisions. In September, in a pre-trial order, he demanded the cancellation of corporate charters that allow the firm to operate in New York. That was a death knell, since it would have meant the liquidation of the business.
Her allegations were numerous enough, yet still the case against Mr Trump kept mounting in recent months. Midway through the trial, the monitor overseeing the Trump Organisation noted that not long ago it made an undisclosed cash transfer of $29m to Mr Trump. The firm’s records were “incomplete”, the monitor added.
