This is when Judge Engoron expects to rule on Trump's $370M fraud case
February 13, 2024
Judge Arthur Engoron is expected to issue his long-awaited ruling in former President Donald Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial on Friday, a source told the New York Daily News Tuesday.
"Barring unforeseen circumstances," of course.
The ruling will arrive on the heels of a testy back-and-forth spat between the New York City civil court judge and Trump's attorneys over a co-defendant's reported perjury plea deal that may have stalled Engoron's decision.

Last week, Engoron asked both Trump's legal team and the New York Attorney General's office for more information about Allen Weisselberg's reported negotiations with the Manhattan District Attorney's office over testimony he gave in the fraud trial.
While Attorney General Letitia James' office stated they knew nothing beyond the New York Times report, Alina Habba and Cliff Robertboth wrote angry letters condemning Engoron's demand in asking for more information.
Engoron snapped back with a letter of his own calling their response "completely out of bounds."
The judge has already found Trump, who denies wrongdoing, liable for fraud. The decision expected Friday will determine the damages Trump will be ordered to pay.
