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.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

Went to Fox News to find this huge story. Scrolled by 7 non stories to find the headline ‘judge announced ruling on trump case’ with a picture of the judge looking black holding a microphone as if she’s some *political activist,” with no mention that he was found guilty of massive decades long fraud.

FYI the photo you're referring to is of NY Attorney General Letitia James, not the judge. She looks black because she's black.

Excellent image-based propaganda, showing Trump clapping which implies he's celebrating exoneration.

Please add screenshot. Don't want to give traffic to them.

It was the first thing I saw when I went to the website, but their description of it is pretty damn accurate.

That headline is accurate but not precise. If they wanted to inform people they could use the same number if words and describe what happened better.

I didn't mean fox's headline was accurate, I meant the previous commentor's description of what fox did was accurate. I guess fox was accurate by technicality, but I would consider it misleading more than anything, what with the vague headline and victorious looking Trump.

Excuse me what the fuck does looking black mean in this context? She is black, of course she looks black…
