NEW YORK (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyers on Thursday will seek to persuade a New York state appeals court to toss a nearly half-billion dollar judgment against the former U.S. president over real estate business practices a court has declared fraudulent.
Justice Arthur Engoron in February ordered Trump, the Republican nominee for the Nov. 5 election, to pay $454.2 million in penalties and interest for inflating his net worth to induce bankers into giving him better loan terms, in a civil case brought by New York state Attorney General Letitia James.
