The Spin

This ruling exposes the politically motivated witch hunt that James orchestrated from day one. She literally campaigned on targeting Trump, calling his presidency "illegitimate" and promising to use every legal tool to go after him. The appeals court saw right through this abuse of prosecutorial power - even sophisticated lenders profited from these deals and never complained.

Multiple judges agreed the evidence was overwhelming and the fraud finding was well-supported. James acted within her lawful authority to protect New York's financial markets from this systematic deception.
