Justice Arthur Engoron has been ruling against Donald Trump. On Friday, he handed Mr. Trump a loss. By Dave Sanders for The New York Times.
Justice Arthur Engoron has delivered his verdict in Donald Trump’s New Yorkcivil fraud trial that sees the former president, his company, and his associates with $355m in fines — with interest $463.9m — and a three-year ban on doing business in the state.
The judge had already ruled that Mr Trump inflated his wealth on financial statements that were given to banks and insurers to make deals and secure favourable loans.
New York Attorney General Letitia James who brought the case had sought $370m in disgorgement from the entities.
On Thursday, another Big Apple justice, Judge Juan Merchan, denied Mr Trump’s motion to dismiss the case brought against him by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal a “hush money” payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels, setting a trial date of 25 March.
And, in Georgia, Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis took to the witness stand to defend herself and former boyfriend Nathan Wade against a motion arguing they should be disqualified from prosecuting the sprawling racketeering case brought against Mr Trump and others over their alleged effort to interfere in the 2020 election in the Peach State.
=== Trumps answer===
Donald Trump is again fuming about the “crazed lunatics” who “punished a liquid and beautiful Corporate Empire”.
Here’s his latest diatribe on Truth Social:
This Election Interference and tyrannical Abuse of Power by a Crooked Judge and Crooked Attorney General cannot be tolerated. My case was already won in the Appellate Division, and more than 80% of the frivolous claims were wiped out. Yet, as I suspected, and in order to hurt me and the Republican Party politically, Crooked and Corrupt Judge Arthur Engoron ignored his loss at the Appellate Division, and came up with an outrageous $355 Million Dollar fine against me. Using a statute that has never been applied like this before, the Corrupt Judge conspired with the Crooked Attorney General, Letitia James, and punished a liquid and beautiful Corporate Empire that started in New York, and has been successful all around the world…..
Page 2: There were no victims, and not one person testified there was any fraud. The actual witnesses established my Net Worth exceeded that reported in my Financial Statements as those Statements never included my most valuable Asset - the TRUMP Brand. 
The Highly Respected Expert Witness said my Financial Statements were among the best he has ever seen. I paid over $300 Million Dollars in taxes to New York City and State, and they want me gone. They are Crazed Lunatics who are destroying everything in their way. It all starts with Biden’s attacks on his Political Opponent!
Page 3: The actual bankers who were involved in the loan transactions testified I was a highly sought-after “whale” of a client with “one of the strongest personal balance sheets” they had ever seen, and I was overqualified for the loans. 
Those banks earned more than $100 Million Dollars in profits doing business with me and my companies. But to justify his crazed attack on me and my family, this biased, Trump Hating Judge, ignored all this, and even said Michael Cohen told the truth, although Cohen admitted to lying hundreds of times, and lied right in front of the Judge during the trial. This shocking and corrupt Interference in the Free Markets for political gain places every New York business transaction at risk. We must make sure Corrupt Politicians and Judges cannot continue to abuse the power of their office, and violate the public trust. We have already won, and will continue the fight on appeal!

Trump ist in einem Betrugsprozess zu einer Strafzahlung von mehr als 350 Millionen Dollar (etwa 325 Millionen Euro) verurteilt worden. Das teilte Richter Arthur Engoron in New York mit. Zudem dürfe Trump drei Jahre lang nicht in führender Position in einem New Yorker Unternehmen tätig sein. Trump und seine Unternehmen wurden demnach zur Zahlung von 355 Millionen Dollar verurteilt. Seine ältesten Söhne, die stellvertretenden Vorstandsvorsitzenden der Trump Organization, Eric und Donald Trump Jr., wurden zur Zahlung von jeweils vier Millionen Dollar verurteilt. Die beiden dürfen zudem für zwei Jahre keine Führungsposition in einem Unternehmen des Bundesstaates innehaben. Der ehemalige Finanzchef Allen Weisselberg wurde zur Zahlung von einer Million Dollar verurteilt. Insgesamt belaufen sich die verhängen Strafzahlungen damit auf 364 Millionen Dollar. 
In dem Zivilprozess ging es um die Zukunft des Firmenimperiums des ehemaligen US-Präsidenten. Die Staatsanwaltschaft warf Trump sowie dessen Söhnen und Mitarbeitern vor, den Wert der Trump Organization jahrelang manipuliert zu haben, um an günstigere Kredite und Versicherungsverträge zu kommen. Richter Engoron hatte dies vor dem Prozess bereits bestätigt. In dem Verfahren ging es vor allem um die Festlegung möglicher Strafen sowie weitere Anklagepunkte. Das Gericht kam zu dem Schluss, dass viele der Behauptungen der Angeklagten "eindeutig" betrügerisch waren. 
Laut den Staatsanwälten hat Trump sein Vermögen um bis zu 3,6 Milliarden Dollar höher angegeben, als es tatsächlich war. 
Trumps Anwältin Alina Habba bezeichnete das Urteil als offensichtliche Ungerechtigkeit und den Höhepunkt einer mehrjährigen, politisch angeheizten Hexenjagd.
Trump sieht sich als Opfer
Der Richter sagte, Trump und seine Mitangeklagten hätten keine Verantwortung für ihre Handlungen übernommen. Die Sachverständigen, die für die Verteidigung aussagten, leugneten die Realität. 
Der Richter bezeichnete den zivilrechtlichen Betrug, der im Mittelpunkt des Prozesses stand, als "lässliche Sünde, nicht als Todsünde". Die Weigerung von Trump und seinen Mitarbeitern, Fehlverhalten zuzugeben, deute aber darauf hin, dass sie weitermachen würden, wenn sie nicht daran gehindert würden. 
"Ihr völliger Mangel an Zerknirschung und Reue grenzt ans Pathologische", sagte Engoron.
