A New York state judge has approved the appointment of a special monitor to oversee the Trump Organization's financial statements and reports, and has barred the company from transferring any non-cash assets without notifying the court and the state attorney general's office in advance. The suit accused the Trumps and other senior Trump Organization officials of decades of fraud related to financial statements. Engoron's written order said the appointment of an independent monitor was justified given the "persistent misrepresentations throughout every one of Mr. Trump's [Statements of Financial Condition] between 20112 and 2021." The monitor would "ensure there is no further fraud or illegality that violates" the New York state law prohibiting fraud.
REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/Companies Trump Organization Inc FollowNEW YORK, Nov 3 (Reuters) - A New York judge on Thursday ordered that an independent watchdog be appointed to oversee the Trump Organization before a civil fraud case by the state's attorney general against Donald Trump's company goes to trial. Last month, James asked the Manhattan-based judge to appoint an independent monitor to halt ongoing fraud at the company and keep the Trumps from transferring assets out of her reach. In a statement, the Trump Organization objected to "political persecution" by James, a Democrat, ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections. He said James had no legal authority to challenge how Trump valued his properties, calling it a private matter between Trump's company and its lenders and insurers. The Trump Organization manages hotels, golf courses and other real estate around the world.

The Trump Organization — not Trump himself — is on trial. "We all have an opinion about Donald Trump, but I don't have an opinion about his company," a marketing company CEO said.

Trump is not on trial, but his real estate and golf resort empire — the Trump Organization — is. The woman, who lives in the Midtown East neighborhood, made the remarks as jury selection was underway in the tax evasion trial of Trump's business, the Trump Organization. Last year, the Trump Organization and Weisselberg were indicted on 15 felony counts, including criminal tax fraud, falsifying business records, scheming to defraud, and conspiracy. Prosecutors have accused the Trump Organization of running a 15-year scheme to defraud federal, New York state, and New York City tax authorities. The Trump Organization, which has pleaded not guilty, could face harsh tax penalties and be fined more than $1 million if convicted.

If convicted, the Trump Organization could be fined more than $1 million — but that's not the only potential fallout. The Trump Organization has said it did nothing wrong and that it looks forward "to having our day in court." The former Trump Organization chief financial officer must also pay nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest and complete five years of probation. When the Trump Organization and Weisselberg were indicted in 2021, prosecutors called the tax scheme "sweeping and audacious" and said it was "orchestrated by the most senior executives."

On Sept. 21, the same day that Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump and the other defendants, her office saw that the Trump Organization had registered with New York's secretary of state a new company, called "Trump Organization II LLC." James, who on Thursday accused Trump and the Trump Organization of engaging in an "ongoing fraudulent scheme," wants Trump blocked from moving the Trump Organization of moving any materials assets to another entity without a judge's approval. "There is every reason to believe that the Defendants will continue to engage in similar fraudulent conduct right up to trial unless checked by order of this Court," James' office said in the filing. And James asked Engoron for permission to serve her lawsuit electronically on Trump and his son Eric Trump, noting that both of them and their lawyers have refused for weeks to accept service of the complaint.
