The judge who hit Donald Trump with a $355 million verdict in New York’s civil fraud lawsuit over his asset valuations said the former president owes another $99 million in interest, largely affirming an estimate made public last week by the state attorney general.
A judgment formalizing Justice Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 verdict was posted Friday to the court docket in Manhattan, locking in damages at $454 million — for now — and starting a 30-day countdown for Trump to appeal. The verdict last week had left the amount of interest blank.
