Last October, judge Engoron found Trump, his adult sons and 10 of his companies liable for fraud,
describing in scathing terms how the defendants made up valuations.
He said these included valuing the Trump Tower apartment as if it were three times its actual size
and worth $327 million, and estimating that Mar-a-Lago was worth up to $739 million though its
assessed value was no more than $28 million.
The judge canceled business certificates for companies controlling pillars of Trump's empire, and
said he would appoint receivers to oversee their dissolution.
Trump responded at the time by calling Engoron "deranged."
The trial will review six additional claims including falsifying business records, insurance fraud and
conspiracy, and address how much in penalties the defendants should pay.
