A New York judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's request to delay his sweeping civil fraud trial, calling the former president's request "completely without merit." The order keeps the case on track to become Trump's first trial since he left the White House in 2021. Engoron's rebuke came one day after James asked the judge to sanction Trump and others in the case for repeatedly putting forward the same failed legal arguments. James asked the judge to issue a combined $10,000 fine to all the defendants, and another collective fine of $10,000 on their lawyers. Late last month, James asked Engoron to grant partial summary judgment against Trump, pointing to what she called a "mountain of undisputed evidence" backing up her allegations.

New York's attorney general asked a judge Wednesday for a partial summary judgment against Donald Trump in her $250 million lawsuit accusing the former president of widespread fraud, citing what she called a "mountain of undisputed evidence" of false and misleading financial statements. The allegedly false statements included years when Trump was in the White House, according to the filing. James is suing the Trumps for allegedly defrauding banks, insurance companies and others with the use of false financial statements. That trial would still take place to address other claims, even if Judge Arthur Engoron grants James' request for partial summary judgment and finds Trump and other defendants committed fraud under New York business law. James, in her motion, says Engoron has to answer just "two simple and straightforward questions" to make that finding.

The entrance to Trump Tower on 5th Avenue is pictured in the Manhattan borough of New York City, May 19, 2021. 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.
The New York Attorney General's Office on Thursday asked a judge to bar former President Donald Trump from moving his businesses to a new holding company he formed amid a pending civil lawsuit accusing him, three of his children, and the Trump Organization of widespread fraud.

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.
