NEW YORK - An appeals court Thursday declined to postpone the start of next week’s trial in the New York attorney general’s $250 million fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump and his company.
In its two-page ruling Thursday, a panel at the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department, does not say whether Engoron committed an error by not finding that elements of the case are time-barred. An interim stay of the trial was vacated. Both sides submitted lengthy witness lists to the court including current and former Trump Organization employees as well as experts and representatives from lenders that did business with Trump.Engoron’s fraud determination this week was a significant blow to Trump and his Manhattan-based real estate, hospitality and golf resort behemoth. The ruling suggests that Trump and his family may soon lose control of several properties managed by the Trump Organization.
