A civil trial in which Donald J. Trump is accused of fraudulently inflating the values of his properties 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, turned aside a lawsuit Mr. Trump filed against the trial judge, Arthur F. Engoron, which had sought to delay the proceeding.
The 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 by billions of dollars to obtain favorable loan terms from banks.

What is going on here?
His lawyers are running up the billable hours, but they can’t get a slam-dunk like this done?
I do believe they have to go all the way through the New York State Courts to then go to the Federal Court system.
if this prevails-nationwide all commercial real estate crashes...wiping out downstream huge chunks of the insurance industry which is secured with said CRE.
this would be a death knell worse than the same that is presently happening in China to their RRE and CRE right now
Yep. Gotta follow the yellow-brick road to get it out of NY, no matter how egregious the trial judge’s behavior.
The losses keep piling up. Ugh.
The problem with refusing to pay these incompetent lawyers is that Trump will have to competent lawyers when the incompetent lawyers sue him for non-payment.
The whole world is rigged, I tell you!!!
An Oceanside property like this isn’t chicken feed.
Hope you’re right that PDJT’s legal team has to work through the lengthy legal process.
Still, I’m quite dismayed at how ineffective they’ve been so far in getting much if not all of the preposterous charges dismissed (thrown out), especially in the 3 NY cases and the farce in Atlanta.
The devil rides.
What's fascinating to me is the NeverTrump partisans who are acting like this lawfare against Trump is a one-off.
"Oh, it will never happen again. We just need to get rid of Trump."
Who can get a slam dunk from the Mafia or the Cartel?
What they are getting rid of is any confidence in the integrity of our justice system.
They’re self-proclaimed “conservatives”. They think Jesus and the Constitution will protect them.
It is, after all, the SH!THOLE known as NY.
You think fighting a political persecution in enemy territory is a “slam dunk”?
Did you hit your head on something recently?
Yes it sounds like it the appeals court overstepping it’s authority.
Just about every court Trump is in is on the same path.
Justice not only bling it’s being gagged.
