Read previewIt has been 10 months since Donald Trump's New York civil-fraud defense lawyers were ordered to pay $7,500 each in sanctions for filing repetitive and frivolous legal motions.
The brief argues that in sanctioning the civil fraud defense lawyers in September, the judge improperly referenced two prior Habba matters that resulted in sanctions for her and Trump.
Habba and other Trump lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the appeal.
AdvertisementA nearly $500 million judgment — set by Engoron in February against Trump, the Trump Organization, and key longtime executives — remains on hold during Trump's appeal.
Of that sum, Trump personally owes $471 million, as of Tuesday, including $17 million in post-judgment interest.
