Trump Slams 'Incompetent' NY Judge Whose $500M Penalty Was Erased on Appeal

President Donald Trump criticized New York Judge Arthur Engoron after a $500M penalty from his state civil fraud trial was erased on appeal, calling the judge 'incompetent' and 'crooked'.

President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who erased a $500 million penalty from his state civil fraud trial, calling him 'incompetent' and 'crooked'. Trump's remarks come after he won a major appellate victory in the case, which had been seen as a key test of his business dealings. Engoron had ruled that one of Trump's companies was liable for misrepresenting its financial statements, leading to the penalty being dropped on appeal. Trump has long made unfounded claims about the trial and its outcome.
