Aug. 27 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump is asking a New York appeals court to throw out the remaining penalties imposed against him in his civil fraud case after the roughly $500 million fine was dismissed last week.
Trump's defense filed the motion in a New York appeals court Tuesday asking it to remove a three-year ban placed on the president from holding corporate leadership positions in the state, and a three-year ban on him and his companies receiving bank loans, among other punitive actions.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron fined Trump $454 million in February 2024, after Trump was found liable for financial fraud by inflating his net worth to secure favorable loans.
Last week, a divided appeals court threw out the massive monetary penalty, calling it excessive, but let stand the judgment.
After his financial penalty was erased, Trump claimed "TOTAL VICTORY" online.
