NEW YORK (AP) — The staggering civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump was finalized by a New York county clerk on Friday.
The procedural step makes official a verdict that put the former president on the hook for more than $454 million in fines and interest.
It also starts a 30-day clock for Trump to appeal.
In the meantime, his debt will rack up daily interest totaling nearly $112,000 each day.
A New York judge ordered Trump to pay the sum in a ruling last week that found he inflated his wealth for years in order to build his real estate empire.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and vowed to appeal.
