Donald Trump’s attorney requested to propose a new judgment on Wednesday in the former president’s civil fraud trial ruling, in which Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump will be fined roughly $355 million.

On Wednesday, Clifford Robert filed a letter in the New York City civil court addressed to Engoron which argues Trump was “deprived” of the chance to speak out against the ruling before it was filed.

According to court records, Roberts requested the chance to propose a “counter-judgment” to Engoron’s ruling, adding that it would be “contrary to fundamental fairness” if not allowed to submit a counter-judgment.

“Defendants therefore request that the Court set a return date for the Proposed Judgment that affords Defendants sufficient time to submit a proposed counter-judgment. To deprive Defendants of the opportunity to submit a proposed counter-judgment would be contrary to fundamental fairness and due process.”

Newsweek has reached out to Trump’s spokesperson via email for comment.
