Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

    Oh okay, I was a bit confused at first. This is part of the massive civil case, but these are claims within that case that the judge issued summary judgement for. There are still more claims that will go to trial next week.

      “Judgment” is the correct spelling in US legal system. Typo or are you from somewhere that uses an “e” in legal usage? Just curious, not picking fight.
