Trump HIT with ORDER He FEARED as VERDICT WON’T GO AWAY
from The Intersection with Michael Popok · host MeidasTouch Network
A New York appeals court has overturned a roughly $500 million civil fraud penalty imposed on Donald Trump and his company, ruling that the amount was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment—while still affirming the underlying fraud finding. The decision leaves in place injunctions and other non-monetary restrictions, and the case is now likely headed to New York’s Court of Appeals. Popok breaks it all down in his latest hot take.
