President Donald Trump is appealing a New York appeals court ruling that found him liable for fraud in a state lawsuit concerning his asset valuations. The court previously invalidated a $464 million civil fraud fine against Trump, deeming it unconstitutional. Following this decision, Trump has requested the court to dismiss the remaining civil fraud penalties. Judges in two separate courts have concluded that Trump engaged in a yearslong scheme that misled financial institutions about his net worth, but they have disagreed on the amount of penalty he should face. Additionally, a federal judge authorized a $2,200 refund to a Jan. 6 rioter who was pardoned by Trump, stating that the judge was compelled by law to issue the refund despite any personal reservations. This refund is the first of its kind following 47 presidential clemencies granted to Jan. 6 political prisoners.
