while it is being sued for fraud by New York’s attorney general.
Engoron’s ruling, the lawyers said, essentially handcuffed the company — restricting its ability to freely make deals, sell assets and change its corporate structure, and putting “immediate and unlawful prejudgment restraint” on what they said was nearly $5 billion in assets.James’ lawsuit, the product of a three-year investigation, alleges Trump and the Trump Organization, including golf courses and hotels bearing his name.
Engoron wrote in an 11-page order that Trump and the Trump Organization “demonstrated propensity to engage in persistent fraud” and that appointing an outside monitor “is the most prudent and narrowly tailored mechanism to ensure there is no further fraud or illegality” pending the resolution of the lawsuit.
Engoron barred the Trump Organization from selling or transferring any noncash assets without giving the court and James’ office 14 days notice. The to-be-named monitor will be charged with ensuring the company’s compliance and will immediately report any violations to the court and lawyers for both sides.
Too bad. A “propensity to engage in persistent fraud” is a good reason to appoint a babysitter for the Trump Organization. TrumpOrganization TrumpCrimeFamily
I guess he doesn’t like special masters anymore 😂
An appeal? By Trump? To endlessly delay and wear down prosecutors? To muddy the waters and whine about 'persecution!'? Of course. It is what Trump does, all the time. When will our (honest, non-Republican) judges get wise to this con game?
Nothing to do with this case The thing always sticking out wen seeing this slogan 'make America great again' the last time that was true was either in WW2 or the Lunar landings, did he make it as big as those two periods? no i did not think either and worse it's farther now 2 it.
Trump overstepped his bound when he tried to overturn an election! Now top THAT!🙄
Trump is not on the ballot this midterm. Joe F…ing Biden and his messed up policies are.
Yep they also claimed to be honest business people…but that was a lie.
Wait, is this the same guy who forced a judge in his pocket to appoint a monitor to watchdog the FBI?
Nope!!!! You won't get the chance to hide shit!!!
