One judge wrote that Engoron erred by ruling before the trial began that the attorney general had proved Trump engaged in fraud.
In his portion of the ruling, Judge David Friedman, who was appointed to the court by Republican Gov. George Pataki, was scathing in his criticism of James for bringing the lawsuit.
"Plainly, her ultimate goal was not 'market hygiene' ... but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real estate business," Friedman wrote. "The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on his political career. This bench today unanimously derails the effort to destroy his business."

It was an outrageous political attack against the leading candidate for president.

I agree. But from what I understand, although the fine has been dropped, the case has not. So it may be possible that Trump may still have a much lower fine.

They should have tossed the whole case.
