01 / DOCUMENTED RECORD

What the sources establish

The 2024 judgment concerned inflated asset valuations used to obtain favorable business terms. It included Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and Weisselberg. [1]

In August 2025 the appellate court threw out the financial penalty; the fraud finding was not simply erased. A business monitor remained. [2][3]

02 / RESPONSE & OUTCOME

Trump denied wrongdoing and called the appellate decision a victory. The attorney general said she would pursue a further appeal. [2]
