A New York judge dropped a legal bombshell on former U.S. President Donald Trump Friday, slapping him with a $350+ million fine and banning him from running businesses in the state for three years. The ruling caps a dramatic civil fraud case accusing Trump of \"inflating his net worth like a reality TV plot twist\" to secure loans and deals. 🚨
Justice Arthur F. Engoron found Trump guilty of repeatedly overvaluing assets – from skyscrapers to golf courses – calling it a \"fantasy world, not the real one.\" The penalty could drain Trump's cash reserves as he campaigns for the 2024 presidency while battling four criminal cases. 💼🔥
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the lawsuit, called it a \"massive victory for truth.\" Trump, meanwhile, slammed the decision as a \"political witch hunt\" on Truth Social. With appeals likely, this legal drama is far from over. 🍿
