After an appeals court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump could proceed with a much lower amount than the $454 million penalty against him in his civil fraud case, New York Attorney General Letitia James fired back at the former president.

“Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud. The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment – plus interest – against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands,” James said in a statement.

    She has already given her evidence of bank fraud to the Justice Department. Every time this fat loser lied on a loan application, it’s a felony. You can get up to 30 years in prison per offense, but I believe it’s usually something like 2 years per instance and rarely prosecuted.

    If they have enough evidence that Trump knowingly lied about the value of his properties, the Justice Department can charge him with a crime for each loan application.

      It would be great if they moved on those criminal charges now that this trial has wrapped up except for the consequences part.
