Donald Trump is to challenge Judge Arthur Engoron's definition of fraud that led to a $355 million judgment in the former president's New York trial.
"The case raises serious legal and constitutional questions regarding 'fraud' claims/findings without any actual fraud," Chris Kise, Trump's principal lawyer in the case, told Newsweek.
Asked about the timing of the appeal, Kise said it "will depend on many factors so it's hard to say at the moment, but in any event, it will fall within the 30-day clock" that is allowed by the court.
Kise accused New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Engoron of trying to run Trump out of New York and said it was bad for the city.
