Trump appeals New York fraud ruling and penalties

Donald Trump is appealing a New York court's ruling that found him guilty of fraud and ordered significant financial penalties against him and his business.
The ruling includes a three-year ban on Trump and his sons from serving as officers in New York businesses and applying for loans from New York financial institutions.
Trump's legal team argues that the ruling is politically motivated and seeks to have it overturned by the state's highest court.
