A New York appeals court on Friday refused to stay the ongoing civil business fraud trial of Donald Trump and his company, but did halt a judge's order to cancel the business certificates of Trump's companies in the state.
The ruling came after Trump's business fraud trial ended its first week of proceedings in Manhattan Supreme Court.
New York Attorney General Letitia James had opposed halting Trump's trial pending his appeal of a judge's pretrial ruling that he was liable for business fraud in the case.
The ongoing trial is dealing with James's $250 million lawsuit against Trump, the Trump Organization, his two adult sons and top company executives.
Engoron had canceled the business certificates of Trump's companies as part of that finding.
