Donald‘s sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr. were involved in the lawsuit and were also each fined $4 million and cannot act as an officer of a company for two years.
The politician is likely to appeal the ruling. He has denied all of the claims, which were brought up by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The latest ruling against Donald comes just a few weeks after it was ruled that he owed $83 million to E. Jean Carroll after a trial found him liable for defaming her.
This is just the latest bad news for the former president, who was placed under arrest twice in the summer of 2023 and faces ongoing investigations. It was also reported that his social media platform lost a staggering amount of money.
Despite all of this, Donald still remains a frontrunner to securing the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race.
