Appeals panel questions New York civil fraud judgement against Trump


A New York appeals court on Thursday held a hearing on former President Trump’s appeal of a $464 million judgment against him and top executives at the Trump Organization.

The civil fraud case was brought forth by the New York attorney general’s office. Trump's appeal is being considered by a five-judge panel.

Some of the judges questioned the judgement against Trump at the hearing. 

“How do we draw a line, or at least put up some guardrails, to know when the AG [attorney general] is operating well within her broad — admittedly broad — sphere … and when she is going into an area that wasn’t intended for her jurisdiction?” Justice John Higgitt asked.

Trump is expected to hold a news conference from New York on Thursday afternoon following the hearing, which started at noon.
