Attorneys from James’s office requested the punishment in post-trial motions filed Friday in the Trump fraud case.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is calling for a $370 million fine against former President Donald Trump and his companies and a lifetime ban on him and two of his former company executives from the real estate industry in the state.
Attorneys from James’ office requested the punishment in post-trial motions filed Friday in the Trump fraud case. They said that Trump owes $168 million of interest allegedly saved through fraud; $152 million from the sale of the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., the site of one of Trump’s hotels; $60 million through the transfer of the Ferry Point Golf Course contract; and $2.5 million from severance agreements for former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Howard Weisselberg and ex-Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney.
James also called for lifetime bans for Trump, Weisselberg and McConney from participation in the real estate industry as well as from serving as officers or directors in New York corporations or entities. The attorney general also asked for five-year bans for Trump’s eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, with the same conditions.
Seems fair.
I don’t know, banning Trump from real estate for just a year or two doesn’t seem like much.

It’s lifetime. I mean, it’s right there in the title. You didn’t even have to read the article.
Pretty sure that’s the joke…
Oh. I thought jokes were supposed to be funny.
They are if you get them.
The joke is that he’s over 80 and visibly unhealthy
Unhealthy?? He has a VIBRANT orange glow.
Punish his kids.
Definitely, but not just because they’re his kids. But because they are also criminals.
Definitely.
But not just because they’re criminals.
No. Punishing people for being related to someone you don’t like is some Republican banana republic bullshit.
Besides, there’s plenty of crimes of theirs left to prosecute.
I’m guessing you are being sarcastic, or joking that lifetime for Trump is just a year or two. But it’s impossible to tell for sure, If it’s sarcasm, I’d recommend adding a /s so it clear.
My upvote ratio suggests my gamble paid off this time.
No, no! Do not bring that reddit bs /s.
Fuck anyone that doesn’t grasp sarcasm.
Omg you’re still going on about this! Dude, let it go. You are the only person I ever see complain about the use of /s.
Poe’s law is a real thing though. And /s is much older than Reddit.
Maybe we could use the percontation mark instead⸮
No. People should use their minds for a few moments to figure it out. I don’t care that many can’t manage.

You guys are doing everything for him not to be re-elected, do you? :D
Definitely. Opponents of fascism are absolutely dedicated to using all legal means to ensure this country isn’t destroyed by those who foment hate, division, and regression while dressing themselves in the false robes of patriotism.
But that’s not what this is. This is just the good old rule of law that Republicans pretend to value.
Fascism?)
He can easily afford this. His lawyers keep telling everyone…
- Trump is a multi-billionaire.
- Maralago itself is worth half a billion (or more) so he only needs to sell one property.
- Everyone across the known universe wants to do business with Trump because he is so successful and famous. He will be back on his feet in no time, in fact he is probably laughing at how pitiful this penalty is. /s
40 years too late
In a separate motion filed Friday, the defense attorneys said the evidence doesn’t support a finding that he intended to defraud, and said the same applies to Weisselberg and McConney. The lawyers argued that attorney general’s office has failed to prove insurance fraud and has not demonstrated any real-world impact, and banks did their own due diligence on the financial statements.
Reminds me of something else:
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
They’ll let him pay it out at $12/yr
