Am I the only one that sees Trump's accelerating downward slide? Every day..sometimes several times a day, courts are ripping him up, returns being released..his stall tactics coming to an end:
A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday denied former President Donald Trump's request to block the New York attorney general's office from placing the Trump business empire under court supervision.
U.S. District Court Donald Middlebrooks ruled that the attorney general's office "raises four reasons – all of which are likely correct – why Plaintiff has no substantial likelihood of success on the merits."
The judge warned against continuing the case against New York Attorney General Letitia James and turned down Trump's attempt to get emergency relief to stop James from seeking materials from his private trust.
"This litigation has all the telltale signs of being both vexatious and frivolous," Middlebrooks wrote in a footnote to his eight-page order.
After a three-year investigation, James filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization in September, alleging years of financial fraud in real estate, tax and insurance transactions.
"Time and time again, the courts have ruled that Donald Trump cannot evade the law for personal gain," James said after the judge approved her request for an independent monitor. "Today's decision will ensure that Donald Trump and his companies cannot continue the extensive fraud that we uncovered and will require the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee compliance at the Trump Organization. No number of lawsuits, delay tactics, or threats will stop our pursuit of justice."
