Trump Is About to Hear a Big Fraud Verdict https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-12-19/donald-trump-versus-a-... Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York is drawing to a close — testimony recently ended — and sometime in early 2024, a state judge will rule on the case. It’s within the judge’s power to impose a fine of as much as $250 million on Trump and permanently ban him and his company from ever doing business in New York again. The state where Trump grew rich may send him into financial exile.
