A New York judge on Friday denied a request by former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants for a mistrial in the $250 million civil business fraud case against them. The ruling came two days after attorneys for Trump Sr., Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, the Trump Organization and its top executives argued that the case had been undermined by political bias. In addition to seeking $250 million in damages, James wants to permanently bar Trump and his two adult sons from running a New York business. Engoron has already found the defendants liable for fraud and ordered the cancellation of their New York business certificates. Trump, a leading Republican presidential candidate, faces four pending criminal cases in addition to the fraud case and other civil matters.

REUTERS/Mike Segar Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Wednesday appealed a judge's refusal to dismiss New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud lawsuit against him and his family business, two days after the case went to trial. James accused Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, the Trump Organization and others of inflating property values over a decade, and Trump's net worth by up to $2.2 billion. The attorney general said the "staggering fraud" was meant to help Trump obtain favorable terms from banks and insurers. Engoron also ordered the cancellation of certificates that let some of Trump's businesses, including the Trump Organization, operate in New York. James also wants Trump and his adult sons permanently banned from running businesses in New York.

Dec 15 (Reuters) - A New York appeals court on Thursday ruled that Yeshiva University must formally recognize an LGBTQ student group, rejecting the Jewish school's claims that doing so would violate its religious rights and values. The ruling by the Appellate Division in Manhattan marked the latest setback for the university in its fight to avoid recognizing Y.U. Pride Alliance, in a statement said the ruling affirmed that the school "cannot discriminate against its LGBTQ+ students by continuing its refusal to recognize the YU Pride Alliance." YU Pride Alliance agreed in September to hold off on forcing Yeshiva to recognize it while the school pursued its appeals after the school briefly halted all student club activities. read moreIt did so after the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision earlier that month declined to block the New York judge's June ruling requiring it to recognize the club.
