An appeals court has thrown out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump. A five-judge panel ron uled Thursday in New York state's lawsuit accusing the businessman-turned-politician of exaggerating his wealth. The decision came seven months after the Republican returned to the White House.

The decision in New York's mid-level Appellate Division altered a verdict that stood to cost Trump over USD 515 million and rock his real estate empire.
