Jonathan Turley, a Fox News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor, explained Monday the most “insidious” provisions in the ruling against former President Donald Trump.

Judge Arthur Engoron of the First Judicial District of the New York State Supreme Court ordered Mr. Trump to pay more than $355 million in a civil fraud case brought against him by state Attorney General Letitia James. Trump will also be prohibited from doing business in the state as an officer or director of a New York company for three years.

Turley noted that there were no victims or losses in the case, before pointing to a provision that could force Trump to liquidate his assets. (Related article: 'They're crazy': President Trump criticizes Judge Letitia James after ruling in civil fraud case)

“And what's really insidious about this is there's another provision in New York state law that requires President Trump to pay the full amount in ponies or obtain bail in that amount just to appeal this decision. ,” Turley said. “So this is some kind of perverse incentive for people like this judge, so great that they forced President Trump to divest his New York assets just to get other judges to see this.” So it's a very unfair situation and I think a lot of businesses will be very concerned about this development.”

Will Thomas, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Law, said Trump will ultimately have to pay a certain amount of money, but it will be up to the courts to decide how much the former president will have to post to appeal. He said it would happen. Associated Press (AP).
