Trump files appeal to New York Court of Appeals seeking dismissal of civil fraud case
President Trump submitted a 119-page filing to New York's highest court requesting dismissal of the remaining findings in the state's civil fraud case against him. The appeal argues the case was politically motivated and seeks to eliminate both the underlying fraud determination and associated business restrictions. Trump's legal team contends Attorney General Letitia James lacked authority to bring the case and that no actual victims were harmed.
