☆ Will Trump’s Barbs Land Him Behind Bars?

It was a historic and jarring event when FBI agents searched former President Donald Trump's home last year to look for classified documents he was accused of hoarding. "Courts and prosecutors have to become normalized to the idea of detaining Trump – if he continues to violate gag orders and/or if he is convicted at trial," Signorelli says. Less-powerful defendants have been punished with time behind bars for being in contempt of court (including violating gag orders) or threatening authorities. Sam Bankman-Fried, the former billionaire crypto trader, was put behind bars in August weeks before his fraud trial after giving a media outlet private writings by a witness. While courts are sensitive to First Amendment protections – especially for someone running for president – Trump is pushing the legal envelope, Eisen says.

But his testimony was overshadowed by a testy back-and-forth between Justice Arthur F. Engoron and one the Trump lawyers over the judge’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield. The lawyer, Christopher M. Kise, repeatedly objected to the clerk communicating with the judge through notes and suggested she has a bias. In his testimony Friday, Eric Trump consistently batted away questions about what he knew of the Trump Organization’s financial statements, claiming he did not know the granular details. During hours on the stand on Thursday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Eric Trump and his older brother, Donald Trump Jr., had blamed outside accountants for errors in company financial statements. The documents are at the heart of the civil case, which accuses the brothers, their father and the family’s Trump Organization of defrauding banks and insurers.

Former President Donald J. Trump will testify early next month in a trial that threatens the business empire that is the foundation of his public persona and informed his run for the White House. Monday will be the trial’s 19th day. For the past four weeks, lawyers from the attorney general’s office have argued that Mr. Trump’s employees had arbitrarily assigned values to assets in order to arrive at the former president’s desired net worth. Mr. Trump’s attorneys have responded that the assets had no objective value and that differing valuations are standard in real estate. Before the trial, the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, ruled that Mr. Trump and the other defendants were liable for fraud, and that the annual financial statements on which they listed their assets were filled with examples of such misconduct.

Members of the Trump family are scheduled to testify starting next week at a civil fraud trial in Manhattan, beginning with Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday and concluding on Nov. 6 with former President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump and his adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are defendants in the case, which was brought by New York’s attorney general, Letitia James. The former president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, was a defendant but an appeals court dismissed the case against her this summer. Ms. Trump is still expected to testify next week after an unsuccessful effort on Friday to avoid doing so. In the lawsuit that led to the trial, Ms. James has accused the Trump family of fraudulently inflating the value of its assets to obtain favorable treatment from banks and insurance companies.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York State Supreme Court in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., October 25, 2023. In that case, Trump is prohibited from publicly targeting Smith or potential witnesses, both of whom he has frequently referenced online and on the campaign trail. "He is a judge that found me GUILTY before the trial even started," Trump said of Engoron in his social media screed Thursday. Engoron fined Trump $5,000 in that instance and warned him that future violations would yield more severe sanctions, potentially including imprisonment.

Donald J. Trump has twice run afoul of a narrow gag order placed on him by the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial in New York, and has been fined a total of $15,000. It’s a rounding error for a former president who measures his net worth in the billions. But if Mr. Trump continues to violate the order, which bars him from attacking the judge’s staff, the punishments could intensify. The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, has warned of harsher fines, contempt of court and possible imprisonment. Mr. Trump denied that his veiled remarks had referred to the clerk, but in an order on Thursday, Justice Engoron fined Mr. Trump $10,000, and declared that his testimony “rings hollow and untrue.”

The judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of Donald J. Trump on Wednesday signaled that he might again punish the former president for violating a gag order that bars Mr. Trump from attacking court staff. The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, has already fined Mr. Trump for comments he made about his law clerk, Allison Greenfield, whom the former president was barred from discussing after he attacked her on social media in the opening days of the trial. During a break in the trial on Wednesday, Mr. Trump called Justice Engoron partisan — which is allowable under the order — but then continued by saying “with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside him. Perhaps even much more partisan than he is.”After the break, the judge said he was concerned that the overheated environment in the courtroom could result in real danger.

☆ Trump aims to discredit Michael Cohen as ex-lawyer testifies in New York fraud trial

Trump doubled down Wednesday during a mid-morning break, saying Cohen "went to jail for lying" and branding him "a totally discredited witness." In his first day on the stand, Cohen had accused Trump of directing him and another Trump Organization executive to falsely inflate the values of his assets on financial statements. But Trump's attorney Alina Habba grilled Cohen on cross-examination, highlighting his 2018 guilty plea on charges including lying to Congress. Cohen, Trump's once-loyal aide, is now a star witness against him in James' trial in Manhattan Supreme Court. Judge Arthur Engoron, who will deliver verdicts in the no-jury trial, has already found Trump liable for fraud and ordered the cancellation of the defendants' New York business certificates.

The judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of Donald J. Trump fined the former president $5,000 on Friday for violating the terms of a gag order imposed this month. The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, had barred Mr. Trump from attacking his court staff after the former president posted a picture on social media of Justice Engoron’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield, with Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader. Mr. Trump labeled Ms. Greenfield “Schumer’s girlfriend” and said she was “running this case against me.”A spokeswoman for Mr. Schumer this month called the social media post “ridiculous, absurd, and false,” adding that the senator did not know Ms. Greenfield. Mr. Trump’s post was removed from his social media platform, Truth Social, on Oct. 3, the day Justice Engoron imposed the gag order. But a copy of the post remained visible on his campaign website — though it appears to have escaped the attention of Justice Engoron until this week.

Soured political relations between the Asian neighbours has further complicated the issue and the Pakistan Cricket Board has asked the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) to sort out visa delays for their fans and media travelling to India. "It didn't seem like an ICC event to be brutally honest," the former Australia coach said after Pakistan's seven-wicket loss.

Arthur F. Engoron, who is presiding over Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial, is an independent and thoughtful — if somewhat quirky — jurist who has served for 20 years in New York City Civil and State Supreme Court. The 74-year-old judge, a former cabby with a shock of white hair and a penchant for cracking jokes from the bench, will effectively be judge and jury, deciding the fate of Mr. Trump’s New York businesses, which make up a large portion of his real estate empire. That’s because the case was brought under a little known but powerful New York state law requiring that the matter be adjudicated at what is known as a bench trial, meaning that no jury will hear the case. The judge not only applies the law, as judges do in jury trials, but also decides the facts, a task that a jury would otherwise perform. And that means that Justice Engoron, a Democrat, will play a far more prominent and consequential role than a judge would at a jury trial, not just during the proceedings, but in the ultimate outcome — unless he is overturned on appeal.

☆ Trump Could Lose Trump Tower (and Other Properties) in Fraud Case

A New York judge put a spotlight on former President Donald J. Trump’s business empire this week, determining in a ruling that he had inflated the value of his properties by considerable sums to gain favorable terms on loans and insurance. If the ruling stands, Mr. Trump could lose control over some of his best-known New York real estate — an outcome the state’s attorney general, Letitia James, sought when she filed a lawsuit last year that accused him of fraud and called for the cancellation of his business certificates for any entities in the state that benefited from deceitful practices. The ruling by the judge, Arthur F. Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court, came before a trial, largely to decide possible penalties, that could begin as early as Monday. Mr. Trump’s lawyers are likely to appeal. Mr. Trump’s lawyers and a leading real estate expert have argued that Ms. James’s lawsuit does not properly factor in the Trump brand’s value or take into account the subjective nature of real estate valuations, with borrowers and lenders routinely offering differing estimates.

Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial over accusations that he inflated the value of his properties by billions of dollars could begin as soon as Monday after a New York appeals court rejected the former president’s attempt to delay it. The appeals court, in a terse two-page order Thursday, effectively turned aside for now a lawsuit Mr. Trump filed against the trial judge, Arthur F. Engoron. The lawsuit had sought to delay the trial, and ultimately throw out many of the accusations against the former president. Thursday’s ruling came two days after Justice Engoron issued an order that struck a major blow to Mr. Trump, finding him liable for having committed fraud by persistently overvaluing his assets and stripping him of control over his New York properties. Justice Engoron sided with the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who last year sued Mr. Trump, accusing him of inflating his net worth to obtain favorable loan terms from banks.

A New York State Supreme Court judge issued a ruling on Tuesday that, if it stands, would have major consequences for Donald J. Trump. The ruling came as part of the New York attorney general’s civil case against Mr. Trump. In the ruling, the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, agreed that Mr. Trump committed fraud when he sent those statements to banks and insurance firms. A trial in the case could start as soon as Monday; if Mr. Trump does not successfully have the ruling reversed before then, the proceeding will largely focus on the size of the penalty against him. The financial statements are deceptive, Justice Engoron wrote, and he punctuated his order with harsh criticisms of the legal strategies deployed by Mr. Trump’s lawyers, whom he fined $7,500 each for using arguments that he had already rejected.

To the Editor:Re “Fraud by Trump Found as Judge Issues Penalties” (front page, Sept. 27):Justice Arthur F. Engoron’s ruling that Donald Trump engaged in a pattern of widespread fraud, whereby he embellished the size and scope of his various business entities for accounting advantages, is very much in keeping with his propensity for engaging in similar grandiose fabrication as president. In fact, literally on the very first day of his presidency, Mr. Trump found it necessary to overstate the size of the inaugural crowd to a demonstrably laughable degree. Such reflexive and self-serving exaggeration, regarding matters large and small, by Mr. Trump persisted to the end of his term, culminating in his wildly fantastical claims of election fraud. To the Editor:In an extraordinary ruling, Justice Arthur F. Engoron held that Donald Trump, by illegally inflating the value of his properties, committed fraud by as much as $2.2 billion. A trial in this case, brought by New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, is scheduled for Monday morning, but this ruling is a huge blow to Mr. Trump and his entire family.

Donald J. Trump’s coming civil fraud trial, which stems from a lawsuit filed by the New York State attorney general against the former president and his family business, may last nearly three months, according to the state court judge who will preside over the proceeding. The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, had already set a start date of Oct. 2, months before the 2024 presidential primaries are set to start. But in an order made public on Friday, he wrote that the trial was scheduled to end by Dec. 22. The trial could end up taking far less time. But if it even approaches the scheduled length, it will further complicate Mr. Trump’s schedule as he makes a third run for president while preparing for the four criminal trials he also faces.

And here we are once more, just a few days into the year’s final Grand Slam, with no shortage of chatter about Arthur Fils, the gallant, 19-year-old Frenchman, who a year ago was battling to get within sniffing distance of the top 300. Now he is ranked 48th in the world and won his first match at a Grand Slam — on his third try — on Tuesday. On a field court in front of bleachers teeming with in-the-know spectators desperate for a glimpse of the future, Fils outlasted Tallon Griekspoor, the 24th seed, in five sets.

Medvedev, 27, has only once reached the fourth round, though he missed last year's tournament due to the ban on Russian players. But a rain break at 5-5 in the first set changed the dynamic and Medvedev was generally in control from then on. "I was pretty nervous, I didn't get to play yesterday so really happy to be back," Medvedev said in a courtside interview. When they returned 20 minutes later Fery struggled to rediscover his intensity as Medvedev immediately broke and served out the set. Fery stuck to his guns, charging the net at every opportunity, and though he got a foothold in most Medvedev service games, the Russian was too often able to serve his way out of trouble.
