On Wednesday, former U.S. president Donald Trump appealed a New York judge's ruling that he and his family business fraudulently inflated the value of several properties and his net worth by as much as $2.2 billion.
The appeal to the Appellate Division, a mid-level appeals court in Manhattan, comes as a civil trial in the case brought by New York's Attorney General Letitia James got underway on Monday to determine the remaining claims and penalties.
James is accusing Trump, three of his adult children, and the Trump Organization of lying for a decade about asset values, in a "staggering fraud" and is seeking at least $250 million in damages.
On Sept. 26, Justice Arthur Engoron of the New York state court in Manhattan found "conclusive evidence" that Trump inflated his fortune.
Outside the courtroom, Trump said "This is election interference. They've made up a fake case. They're fraudulent people. And the judge already knows what he's going to do, he's a Democrat judge."
