Court rejects Donald Trump’s bid to delay trial in wake of fraud ruling that threatens his business

NEW YORK

Trump’s lawyers had sought the trial delay prior to Engoron’s ruling, alleging he abused his authority and hindered their preparations by failing to comply with a June appeals court order that he narrow the scope of the trial based on the statute of limitations. Engoron ruled Tuesday that Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, defrauded banks, insurers and others with annual financial statements that massively overvalued his assets and exaggerated his wealth. Engoron ordered some of Trump’s companies removed from his control and dissolved. James alleges Trump boosted his net worth by as much as $3.6 billion.
