In fact, social, Trump appeal decision “A big win for America !!!” greeted as.

James filed a lawsuit against Trump and an expanding real estate company in September 2022 two years before his successful offer to get the White House back.

After an 11 -week hearing, Trump offered comprehensive evidence that Trump has inflated the value of assets, including Florida Club and Trump Tower Penthouse for years to obtain better conditions for loans.

One of the five referees who made his decision on Thursday, opposed the others and said that the decision should be thrown together with the penalty.

Justice David Friedman accused Democrat James of filed a lawsuit for “Partisan political motives ında in the hope of destroying both the political career of the Republican President and the real estate business.

“Voters made a clear decision about his political career,” Friedman wrote. “Today, this bench unanimously removes his efforts to destroy his business.”

The two other judges on the panel claimed that James’ case was weak, but Trump’s responsibility was accepted only to allow the court to make a final decision that the President could object to.

The decision creates a new pressure on James, who has become the focus of a federal investigation, as to whether his case violates Trump’s legal rights.

On August 8, people who are familiar with the Federal investigation against James against Trump against Trump, said that the Ministry of Justice officials collecting a large jury in Albany, New York and sent a subpoena to James’s office. The court also said that James was looking for information about the case against the National Rifle Union. The State Chief Public Prosecutor won a court case that accused the arms rights group of abuse of donor funds last year.

James’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said the investigation is a clear and desperate example of this administration that carried out the President’s political ordeal campaign ”.

Trump has long criticized James and Engoron, who controls the non -jury hearing, and called both politically prejudiced against him.

Trump also objected to his conviction in the Hush-money case and tried to delete the criminal record.

In addition, two civilian jury decisions against him in the cases imposed by New York writer E. Jean Carroll, who claimed that Trump raped in a store dressing room in the 1990s, appealed. He filed a case of sex abuse and slander for him and won a total damage to about $ 90 million. Trump constantly rejected Carroll’s claims.
