Trump Ordered to Pay $355M in Civil Fraud Case; The View Debates if Penalty Was Excessive
- Donald Trump ordered to pay $355 million in civil fraud trial for inflating assets to get loans
- Sara Haines of "The View" thinks the amount was excessive and plays into Trump's claim that the case was politically motivated
- Haines pointed to smaller $25 million Trump University settlement as comparison
- Haines says large penalty feeds Trump's narrative that the case was a "political witch hunt"
- Other "View" hosts disagreed, saying number came from Trump's own paper trail of fraud
