Judge Halts New York Attorney General's Fraud Trial Against Trump
Epoch Times ^ | 9/15/23 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 09/15/2023 11:37:00 AM PDT by CFW

A New York appeals court judge halted the scheduled Oct. 2 trial in New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, a spokesman for the court confirmed Thursday.

State Justice David Friedman, with the 1st Department of the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, granted an interim stay of the trial—slated to start Oct. 2—and referred the matter to a five-judge panel, which expects to rule in the last week of September, a spokesperson said. He also ordered the full appeals court to consider a reported lawsuit that President Trump had filed against the trial judge, Arthur Engoron, on an expedited basis.

President Trump’s lawyers had raised issue with Judge Engoron's refusal to grant a request for a three-week trial delay, which he said (pdf) was "completely without merit." They also asked the judge to pause the trial until he issues a ruling on the statute of limitations regarding certain claims in Ms. James's lawsuit, it was reported.

I had an argument with another Trump supporter
He said Trump is as going to win back the White House.
I said: not unless they fix the mail in ballot cheating

Trump overstated net worth by up to $3.6 billion each year,
NY attorney general Lacreature James alleges in new filing

Lacreature James’ sweeping fraud lawsuit alleges Trump, his adult sons, and
his businesses made fraudulent financial claims “to obtain better bank loan terms”........

This ridiculous on its face........realty is mostly leverage, ergo many banks signed off on Trump loans.
No bank lends money without a brutal vetting of a client’s holdings........b/c this is their collateral.

In the financial world collateral is a valuable asset that a borrower pledges as security for a loan that reverts to the the lender if the client defaults. For example, when a homebuyer obtains a mortgage, the home serves as the collateral for the loan. For a car loan, the vehicle is the collateral.

NOT ONE lender has ever sued Trump for making “fraudulent financial claims.”
Even if what Lacreature says is somehow true, this would be a civil action
between Trump and his lenders......not a “sweeping state criminal action.”

She is essentially outlawing negotiating.

In her world, everything is fixed pricing and the government sets the price based on tax needs. Your assessed value becomes the only value that matters and all private business transactions must be based on the assessed value for tax purposes.

One of the prime examples of the political weaponization of our legal system.

President Trump asserts: “Do you know the banks were fully paid? Do you know the banks made a lot of money?” President Trump testified. “Do you know I don’t believe I ever got even a default notice, and even during COVID, the banks were all paid? And yet you’re suing on behalf of banks, I guess. It’s crazy. The whole case is crazy.”

If true, the case is without STANDING, much less merit.

Also goes after landlords and was instrumental in the infamous 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of New York State.
