where willis explained her personal relationship with the special prosecutor. this hearing was prompted by a january complaint from codefendant michael rome inn who, along with former president trump wants willis to qualify and wants the case thrown out. their attorneys allege willis personally and financially benefited from her involvement with wade who has been paid more than $650,000 by willis' office for lavish trips to california, florida, and the caribbean. willis said she did not see those trips as gifts and reimbursed wade with cash. a judge is expected to rule in the coming days about whether she or wade could be disqualified from the trump case. the georgia case is one of several legal challenges for former president trump. a verdict is expected today in the new york civil fraud trial. it is the latest attraction in downtown los angeles but not in a good way. a look at the

one of the cases against former president donald trump. trump is liable of falsifying business records, conspiracy trump and the trump organization is expected to repay more than $354 million. new york attorney general letitia james had accused the former president and his organization of overstating his net worth in order to win favorable terms on loans. in september, the new york supreme judge found trump had committed fraud for more than a decade but had not yet ruled on the six other claims that we just learned about today. cbs news chief election campaign correspondent robert costa joins me now. bob, what does today's ruling mean for the former president? we know this is not a criminal case. this affects his business dealings.

>> this is not a criminal case. it is a civil fraud case but this penalty is sweeping in scope. former president donald trump and his codependence in this case order today by the judge to pay out more than 300 million, $350 million in damages because he believes that the trump organization, led by former president trump, defrauded the state of new york. not only is there a financial penalty as part of this ruling, a very copy hence of ruling, we are also seeing former president donald trump being barred from being a director or leader of any corporation in the state of new york for the next three years. that is a directive for not only trump but other codefendants in the case including the former chief financial executive, allen weisselberg and donald trump's own son , eric trump and donald trump jr. are barred from being

in executive or leadership positions at a new york company for the next two years. for some people, this kind of ruling maybe would not be that dramatic but for the trump family, which is so intertwined with the trump organization , going back to fred trump, the former president's father who built all of these developments in the new york city burrows in the 1960s and 1970s, and then trump, as he developed his own companies in the 80s and 90s, the family is the business. trump has so much of his valuation as part of his brand, as part of his marketing value. now he is going to likely have to find a significant amount of cash to pay out this penalty. as he pays out this penalty, he will try to appeal it in the coming months but he will also be under a cash crunch. he is facing the civil penalty of over $80 million.. for someone who does not have his whole business and cash, this is a real challenge facing him. we

don't have direct details on how he will pay it out or how he will be ordered to do so but what is important to note is over $300 million now could be coming out of the trump coffers to the state of new york. as ae in the state. as ae >> all right, that's absolutely right. i'm joined with scott mcfarland. i want to talk to you about donald trump's children. there are moments when the judge mentioned them in this as well. you are going to the documents right now. i got them handed to me here. as we are learning more about the details, what can you say about the children on all of this of this? speak of judge is pretty emphatic. there is sufficient evidence, intentionally falsified business records and the penalties extend to them too. they are also banned from running a corporation in the state of new york for two years. also recalling during the trial, they took a stand. so did if ivanka trump.

answering questions about what her brother, father, family did with the corporation. the meat of this judgment is a ban on the sons from running the business. they were intentional in this. >> with everything related what type of impact does this have on his campaign, especially knowing just recently, we learned about the march 21st start of the trial of? he will have to be present for several weeks. >> we have lots of different legal buckets for the former president. you have criminal, you have a civil. this is civil but it's much larger than its reputation. this strikes at the very heart of donald trump's larger american story of being an

aggressive dealmaker who makes things happen and who builds fortunes for himself and for others. what this case has always been about is was there something illegitimate about all those representations within the trump real estate empire? where things are valued more than they were worth? were things misrepresented to momentarily provide financial advantage to the trump family or the trump organization at some harm either to the state of new york or creditors or borrowers. this case is about yes, in fact, when you look at the numbers and when you scrutinize everything that was marketed about the trump brand or the trump name, it didn't add up and no case on the docket in the last two years has more infuriated the former president than this. >> it was personal, without a doubt. we are going to turn to political campaign reporter catrina kaufman. she's been following many of the former president's legal troubles. are you surprised at all by this?

obviously, letitia james, the attorney general of new york asking for 370 million dollars -- 354 million dollars. it's probably assumed that trump would appeal toes. >> reporter: they've been making that clear since day one of this case but they knew they were going to lose and they thought they would win this case on appeal. i can't say i'm surprised by this ruling. it is almost what letitia james asked for. i was struck by a part of it where the judge talks about a lack of contrition. he says it borders on almost pathological and that the only thing that trump would even admit was a mistake was the size of his triplex which trump actually did during the closing arguments when he, in court, started speaking for about 5 minutes unauthorized by the judge and i think i accidentally admitted that that was a mistake. >> as far as some of what we are talking about in reference to his other legal woes, how do you think this will impact some of the other -- the upcoming trial that i just mentioned starting

next month? only because it seems that it hasn't necessarily affected him on the campaign trail. does this start to change the tide, if you will? >> reporter: i think it impacts him financially. he has a huge debt to pay. he has the e. jean carroll trial that 83.3 million dollars, plus the previous 5 million dollars. this is another 350 million dollars so it's really impacting him financially and he hasn't done well in new york. he just lost to the e. jean carroll trial. he has not done well in the civil fraud verdict and now he has the hush money trial coming up and that is going to be the first criminal trial ever prosecuted against a former president. >> rachel, thank you. cbs news legal expert and analyst rikki klieman joins us now. how does this compare to the criminal cases facing trump right now? >> reporter: people might think that the criminal cases are far more significant against donald trump because it involves the possibility of conviction

and ultimately the possibility of prison time. however, i would say i am one of the legal experts among and down like many others who firmly believes that this case among others is the one that disturbs donald trump most of all. you have to remember that donald trump has felt that judge engoron has been prejudiced against and from the very beginning and has been very vocal about that fact, saying that the fraud was the first ruling and so why were we even having a trial? because the only thing was to decide a penalty. donald trump and his lawyers must have fully expected that the penalty would be mighty. the problem here is this. it's not so much only the brand. it's not the mix of the political and the legal for me. what it says to me is if i am donald trump's lawyer, i think i have many grounds for appeal,

but i've got to post money or a surety bond in order to go forward. in new york, that is a phenomenal amount of money because it's either the 350 million dollars plus interest that you would have to come up with to go forward with the appeal or it's a surety bond and who's going to give him a surety bond when the collateral for the bond might be properties that have to be sold? use in a very, very difficult position. in terms of not only his finances, but in how he projects himself to the world. i think this is far more significant to him and to his attorneys then going forward at the end of march in new york with a criminal case. >> we want you to stand by. want to turn to scott macfarlane. i know that you've talked about the threats and it's discussed here in this document that

wasn't just facing the judge but also those who work around him. how impactful or what was the message there and this world and? >> reporter: in the courtroom for this trial, what struck me most was the ugliness of this trial. there was a gag order issued because of donald trump was posting on social media conspiracy theories about the judge's clerk and he persisted in doing so. those led to some number of threats against the court staff are against the judge's office and it begs the question are we going to sleep more of that when donald trump returns to court in all these criminal cases that are now stacked up from new york to d.c. to florida to georgia? the tenor and tone of this trial were troubling to so many people and it's not his last time in court. >> it's worth pointing out that in that context that scott just raised, the former president spends an extravagant amount of time talking about a two-tiered system of justice, alleging that he is a victim of one that is harsher on him than it is on

other americans. any other defendant who acted as a former president trump did in those social media posts would have received far more, harsher penalty than a momentary, temporary and limited gag order. they would've probably been held in contempt of court. that was never even on the table for the former president. in this conduct and the space he finds himself where does permissible room for them to threaten or create the atmosphere of threat around traditional proceedings, he is being encouraged or at least entitled to something that most other americans would be denied and denied almost instantaneously. >> you don't think this will have an impact in terms of his decorum or how he reacts or responds? >> it might or might not. we know that the record established so far he's been given latitude no other defendant in this country would be would. because i want to turn to robert costa who is standing by in new york. you were also in the courtroom for some of this period has trump been using this civil trial as a campaign opportunity?

>> reporter: it's been quite a thing to cover in new york over the last few months. former president donald trump has not always been called to be in the courtroom. he has decided voluntarily to appear there and he doesn't just slip in the back door. he goes in, he talks to this cascade of reporters in front of him, cameras, and he holds court almost like he's on the campaign trail and he makes it many speech often times before he enters the courtroom. sometimes, he takes breaks during the course of the civil fraud triumph to come outside the room and sharply, sharply criticized judge engoron and some members of his staff to the point where they have been multiple confrontations between the judge and trump in the courtroom about his conduct, warning trump that he is going over the line. there was never a question here about whether fraud took place in the eyes of judge engoron. the civil fraud case began with the judge stated he believed there was fraud that took place. it was always going to be about

the penalty. instead of trying to appeal to the judge, be friendly to the judge, trump has launched not only a legal war against him but a political war against himudgen enemy of trump, not just someone he's fighting inside the courtroom. >> okay. robert, thank you. i want to turn back to rikki. now that we know, and as we pointed out earlier, it was likely to happen that he would appeal if this wasn't favorable, which how could it be knowing what we knew going into this? what was next? what would be the process? how long is thus dragged out? what can you tell us? >> reporter: the appeal has teeth. the things that we do know is that the associated press did a study of over 70 cases where there was the situation of magnitude of fraud. in no case was there a fraud with this magnitude of

punishment. it's an extraordinary sum of dollars of punishment, where there was no victim, and ultimately, no damage to the victim according to the banks. it's not a situation where people have lost money, let alone cost lives because of the fraud. when he goes forward through his lawyers with the appeal, assuming that he can come up with money to post for the appeal, he really does have a viable argument that this is a different justice system applying to him and do his business and because we do not have someone who's saying i was hurt. this was an argument raised over and over in court and it was an argument that the judge had said that he did not accept because it didn't matter under this new york 70 year old statute that you had to have damage to a

victim. there will be a very good appeal, at least in terms of the argument on this issue alone. what happens is the appeal has to be docketed. eight notice of appeal is filed that is docketed but money has to be posted in order for it to go forward. this appeal, some people say it could take a year. some people say it could take longer. there are other people who will say no, that the first department of the appellate division, which would be the first appellate court to look at this, has a very complete record and can act expeditiously. i am not quite so optimistic about the question of time. i think these things do take time and these issues are complicated. >> i wonder how much time you really have during an election year and the impact i think that that will have on people and i'm

sure we went to find out. no one can speculate, but obviously, we've seen this before. we know we've been talking about the various cases that he's involved with and it seems to sort of -- his supporters and whatnot are not taken aback by accusations, allegations, and we don't know what would be the outcome, obviously, with this latest development. i want to turn to katrina and go back to you in terms of if you believe that trump is being made an example of. you heard rikki talk about the associated press report and having a strong argument for not being treated before like other folks, but obviously not having this kind of money we are talking about with over 300 million dollars. >> reporter: another part of this opinion that stood out to me as a judge engoron says that new york means business in contacting business fraud and he talks about the harm that false statements inflict on the market place, so maybe he is trying to

make an example of trump. he wants to show people that they can't conduct this type of fraudulent business practice and to that end, he also extends -- there was a special monitor appointed to oversee the financial dealings of the trump organization and she's going to be kept on for another few years before judge engoron even released to this woman, she had put out a report and it showed she found continued erron their financial records so even after this case or as it was already being tried, this type of fraud was potentially being perpetuated at the organization. >> okay, and i want to turn to scott macfarlane. we talk about the money flowing and surrounding, whether it's rudy giuliani art dominion, some of these other civil cases. what does that mean and what can we gain from what we know at this point in reference to this case and others that are connected to former president donald trump give mexico it's quite something. people are wondering when is donald trump going to stand

trial in this criminal cases and he is successfully throwing sand in the gears and pushing these trial dates back. there was supposed to be a trial on march 4th in the election subversion case. that's going to be punted to summer at the earliest. the money cases, not just the defamation case involving e. jean carroll. this massive judgment today. there are the related cases involving 2020. will dominic rudy giuliani loses in order to pay tens of millions of dollars, that massive fox news, dominion defamation settlement for nearly three quarters of a billion dollars. there is no criminal accountability yet for the former president, but you can see the civil cases are moving along pretty swiftly. >> to rikki's point about this case, is it fundamentally different than other new york cases? as the judge in this very lengthy opinion tries to go to some lengths to explain, it is different in magnitude and duration and, as katri
