Eric Trump slams judge after he and Don Jr. are banned from doing business in New York for two years and fined $4million each in devastating fraud ruling against ex-president

Eric Trump has criticized Judge Arthur Engoron after he and his brother were banned from doing business in New York for two years – with the pair each fined $4 million in a devastating fraud case against their father.

The former president and his family business were fined a whopping $364 million for driving up real estate prices, while the 77-year-old was fined $355 million.

Eric and Don Jr. were each fined more than $4 million and former CFO Allen Weisselberg was fined $1 million.

Speaking to Fox News, Eric has now backtracked on Engoron’s decision, saying it was “trophies on the wall” for the justice system.

The 40-year-old told the newspaper: “As far as Don and I are concerned, every witness has testified that we had nothing to do with this. It didn’t matter to this man (Engoron).’

He added: “We were trophies on the wall for this man. This is New York State. I caution anyone even thinking about moving to New York to be careful.”

The younger Trump went on to say, “They wouldn’t be doing this if Donald Trump wasn’t the frontrunner for president.

“They’re attacking him civilly, they’re attacking him criminally. They’re doing it because Donald Trump is winning.”

The stunning decision came after an explosive three-month trial in which Trump took the stand and his children, including Ivanka, testified.

Trump now owns more than $454 million for judgments in New York after a jury ordered him to pay for defaming his rape accuser, E. Jean Carroll.

His net worth is estimated at around $2.6 billion, according to a Forbes estimate in September 2023and most of his assets are tied up in his vast real estate and golf empire.

The Republican presidential candidate has $640 million in cash and assets and $870 million in golf clubs and resorts, according to Forbes.

His New York real estate is worth $690 million and his social media and branding activities are worth $160 million.

At one point in the proceedings, Judge Arthur Engoron told the former president’s lawyer to “check on your client.”

Speaking outside his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump went on the offensive and lashed out at Engoron and Attorney General Letitia James.

The former president said, “A corrupt judge in New York State has ordered me to pay a $355 million fine for building a perfect business.

‘There was no fraud, the banks all got their money. They love Trump, they testified that Trump is a great customer. The judge knows that, he is just a corrupt person.

“Letitia James is a terribly corrupt attorney general, and it all has to do with election interference. There were no casualties, the banks made a lot of money.

The Trump Organization called the ruling a “gross miscarriage of justice,” accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “overreach” and said Deutsche Bank did “hundreds of millions” of business with them.

“Every member of the New York business community, regardless of industry, should be deeply concerned by this gross overreach and brazen attempt by the Attorney General to exercise limitless power in the absence of any private or public harm.

“If this ruling stands, it will only further hasten the continued exodus of businesses from New York.”
