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

Messages seeking comment were left Thursday with Trump’s lawyers and James’ office.

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. An appeals court judge, David Friedman, granted an interim stay of the trial while the full appeals court considered the lawsuit on an expedited basis. Thursday’s ruling lifted the stay, allowing the trial to proceed as scheduled. Through a court lawyer, Engoron declined to participate in the appeals court process.

Engoron’s fraud ruling, in a phase of the case known as summary judgment, resolved the key claim in James’ lawsuit, but six others remain. They include allegations of conspiracy, falsifying business records and insurance fraud. The judge will also decide on James’ request for $250 million in penalties.
