New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a judgment with the Westchester County clerks office over a civil fraud ruling against former President Donald Trump , allowing her office to seize local properties from the purported billionaire and real estate developer if he cannot pay the $464 million penalty imposed by a court.

The attorney general filed the judgment March 6, according to the county clerks website. Filing the judgment with the county clerks office is the first step that the attorney general would take to impose liens and seize properties from a delinquent debtor. Trump properties in the suburban county, just north of New York City, include Trump National Golf Club Westchester and the 212-acre Seven Springs development.

On Feb. 16, a New York court found in a civil trial that Trump had committed financial fraud by falsifying the business records of his Trump Organization to obtain more favorable loan terms. Trump has since appealed the decision, but in the meantime he must pay bond on the penalty, either with his own cash or with a loan through a bond company.
