The New York deputy state solicitor general, Judith Vale, has stated that the office of New York AG Letitia James will not vacate the $486 million civil fraud judgment against the convicted felon, Donald Trump. Judge Arthur Engoron issued a $350 million judgment against Trump, which has increased to over $497 million due to accruing interest. The judgment stemmed from factual findings that Trump repeatedly engaged in fraud by exaggerating his assets to secure loans.
