Donald Trump was fined nearly $355 million on Friday for financial fraud within his real estate empire, by a court in New York. The unprecedented decision is a blow to the heritage of the former President of the United States, who aims to be re-elected in November.
Trump father and son appeared during this lengthy trial, often in an ultra-tense political climate, and were accused of having enormously inflated the value of the assets of their family empire Trump Organization. Judge Engoron, with whom Donald Trump has execrable relations, had ruled that fraud had been established even before the trial.
