Donald Trump is facing a $250 million penalty and a ban on doing business in New York when a judge renders his verdict later in January.

The new year could be off to a rough start for Donald Trump.

The former president is facing $250 million in penalties and a ban on doing business in New York when the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial delivers a verdict in the case later in January.

The Manhattan Supreme Court trial — which has been on hiatus since Dec. 13 — is set to resume with closing arguments on Jan. 11, and Justice Arthur Engoron has said he hopes to have a decision in the non-jury case by the end of the month.

    I doubt it, because all of his business assets will be sold off as part of the judgement. Additionally, he can’t just sell things off without the special monitor approving the transactions.

      he can’t just sell things off without the special monitor approving the transactions.

      And yet he seems to keep doing that and getting away with it.

      I’ll believe it when I see real actual consequences.

      Hopefully that’s soon.

      Friendly reminder that Alex Jones has been liable for $1.5b since July 2022, has also had a special monitor, and has also been spending lavishly without giving his victims a single cent.
