Odaily Planet Daily reported that on August 21st, the New York State Court of Appeals overturned a civil fraud fine of approximately $500 million imposed on President Trump. Trump, in a post on his social media platform, "Real Social," expressed deep respect for the court's "courage to overturn this illegal and shameful ruling," and that from a business perspective, the ruling "represents an unprecedented witch hunt." The New York State Attorney General's Office appealed the court's ruling the same day.
