President Trump scored a massive victory yesterday when a New York appeals court threw out the disgraceful $500 million civil fraud penalty against him. The court ruled the fine was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment. This was nothing more than a political witch hunt from the start.
The original ruling came from Judge Arthur Engoron in February 2024. He slapped Trump with $354 million in penalties plus interest. The judge also tried to ban Trump from running New York businesses for years.
This whole case was a sham designed to hurt Trump and help Democrats. New York Attorney General Letitia James campaigned on getting Trump. She used her office like a political weapon against the former president.
Trump celebrated the win on social media. He said he respected the court’s courage to throw out this unlawful decision. The president pointed out how this case was hurting businesses across New York State.
The appeals court saw right through this partisan attack. Three judges recognized that the penalty was way too harsh. They understood this was government overreach at its worst.
This victory shows that our justice system can still work when judges follow the law. The original case was always about politics, not real fraud. Trump never hurt anyone or stole money from victims.
Democrats are furious that their lawfare strategy is failing. They thought they could use corrupt prosecutors and activist judges to stop Trump. But the American people see through these dirty tricks.
This win proves Trump was right all along about being targeted unfairly. Real Americans know he’s being persecuted for fighting the swamp. Justice finally prevailed over partisan politics in New York.
