Former President Donald Trump reacted with disbelief as Judge Juan Merchan announced that Judge Arthur Engoron had ruled that he violated the law by fraudulently inflating the value of his assets.
The ruling came as a result of a lawsuit filed by the New York Attorney General's office, which alleged that Trump had provided misleading financial statements to secure loans and other financial benefits. Judge Engoron's decision marks a significant legal setback for Trump, who has long faced scrutiny over his business practices.
