Between this ruling, & the 2 #EJeanCarroll rulings, #Trump is down half a billion dollars in #legal #damages this year.

More #Trump #legal news: A #NY #appeals court continues the #stay of #Engoron’s order canceling Trump’s NY #business certificates, but DENIES a stay of the other relief granted to the #NYAG after its #SummaryJudgment victory on its first claim of pervasive, widespread #fraud in financial statements.

#law #civil #conspiracy #TrumpOrganization #LetitiaJames #TrumpTrial
Importantly, in Sept, Justice #Engoron ruled in his partial #SummaryJudgment that #Trump et al are – as a decided matter of law – liable for #fraud; this trial is only deciding the remaining charges of #InsuranceFraud, #FalsifyingBusinessRecords, considering whether defendants "intentionally & materially" violated the laws & determining the amount of #disgorgement.
The #trial will determine whether #Trump will pay a significant #penalty, as well as any other #punishments. #NYAG #LetitiaJames has asked that he pay $250M & that he & his sons be permanently barred from running a #business in #NewYork.

#NYAG #Amer questions #JeffMcConney more about how he #valued specific #Trump #properties & what info he may have excluded from his accountants’ assessment.
Note: Trump’s principal lawyer #ChrisKise is absent today.
Trump's legal team this morning filed a stay request to the state #Appellate Division (#AD1), to halt the #trial & #dismiss #Engoron’s #SummaryJudgment. #Kise, who was Florida’s solicitor general, (the top FL appellate lawyer). So presumably he’s dealing w/ they stay.
Trump’s lawyers plan to take action today against #Engoron's #SummaryJudgment.
They plan to file a #stay pending #appeal before #NY #AD1. In court yesterday, they refused to reveal the #scope of the requested stay.
Engoron's ruling found that Trump & his companies had committed repeated #fraud, & canceled #business certs for LLCs “controlled or beneficially owned” by Trump, his sons #DonJr & #EricTrump, & 2 #TrumpOrganization execs.
The judge's #SummaryJudgment ruling last week found that Trump & his companies had committed repeated #fraud, & canceled #business certificates for LLCs "controlled or beneficially owned" by #Trump, his sons #DonJr. & #EricTrump, & two #TrumpOrganization execs. It originally gave the parties 10 days to name a potential receiver, but Engoron extended the deadline at the request of Trump's lawyers. Trump filed a notice Wednesday that he's #appealing the ruling.
Last week, #Engoron denied Trump's motion to have the claims against him thrown out on statute of limitations, & Engoron issued partial #SummaryJudgment on some of the AG's allegations, including that #Trump & the #TrumpOrganization had made "persistent" false claims overstating the #value of their #assets in their #financial statements.
