(For perspective, Trump's 2016 settlements in three Trump University fraud cases totaled $25 million.)
AdvertisementTrump has denied any fraud, and his lawyers argue in their appeal that the judgment is unjustified, legally flawed, and excessive.
By winning his appeal, Trump would also dodge the judgment's non-monetary punishments, which are many.
Winning would mean Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump would no longer face being banned for two years from running Trump Org or any other business in New York state.
By appealing, Trump has kept all of these fraud punishments on ice, with the exception of the Trump Org monitoring, which is ongoing.
