Appeals Court Rejects Trump’s Effort to Delay Trial in Fraud Case

[berg80]

Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial over accusations that he inflated the value of his properties by billions of dollars could begin as soon as Monday after a New York appeals court rejected the former president’s attempt to delay it.

The appeals court, in a terse two-page order Thursday, effectively turned aside for now a lawsuit Mr. Trump filed against the trial judge, Arthur F. Engoron. The lawsuit had sought to delay the trial, and ultimately throw out many of the accusations against the former president.

Thursday’s ruling came two days after Justice Engoron issued an order that struck a major blow to Mr. Trump, finding him liable for having committed fraud by persistently overvaluing his assets and stripping him of control over his New York properties.

Justice Engoron sided with the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who last year sued Mr. Trump, accusing him of inflating his net worth to obtain favorable loan terms from banks.

Not surprising. The appeal was always a hail Mary. His NY biz's are likely going in to receivership. Gosh, I'm really going to enjoy this.

James’ list shows she plans to call 28 witnesses, including Trump, Donald Trump Jr. , Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump.

Do they take the 5th?

What sorts of "retribution" do you expect?

 

[Blaster]

All these attempts to derail Trump are doomed to failure. He is well on his way to regaining the Presidency.

It won't be trying throw people in jail for no reason like what is going on now.

Without fail.

The commies have the fix into the courts on this one.

Never again should Americans be sitting around bragging about 2A rights at the same time that a successful coup is in progress of stealing an election. Peaceful demonstrations were needed to stop the steal more than any other violent actions that never could have worked.

Democrats will get a taste of their own medicine. It will be very poetic.

Are you ready to be labeled an "insurrectionist" and be held for years without charge or trial & get an eyeball ripped out of your head for good measure?

Yup...you'll reap what you've sewn!

So you're predicting that if Trump somehow gets elected again, he'll start throwing people in prison for no reason.

Is that it?

Well, we know that Trump & children will probably take the 5th. But the beauty of this trial is that the judge in the trial is the same judge who found Trump & children liable for fraud, AND there will not be a jury for Trump to try and rig! Bigly!!!

Without fail.

Hell no they don't take the 5th.
Bankers are supposed to know exactly how much properties are worth.
They do NOT take your word for it.
Adequate collateral is the only a bank would lend money.

Jamie didn't show any crime, like when Sam Bankman Fried stole money from FTX.

Who lost money on the Trump borrowing?

Welcome to the Banana Republic.

Stop pussyfooting around and tell me what you think a re-elected President Trump will do.
