Trump's New York civil fraud trial rolls on after an appeals judge declines to halt it

Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial will roll ahead next week after he lost a bid to postpone it. A New York appeals judge rebuffed his request Friday.

Important quote here:

The appellate court last week rejected the defense’s last-minute effort to delay the trial just days before it began. On Thursday, Trump’s lawyers dropped a lawsuit they filed against Engoron as part of that challenge.

Engoron ruled last week that Trump committed years of fraud as he built the real estate empire that vaulted him to fame and the White House.

The judge, ruling on the top claim in James’ lawsuit, found that Trump routinely deceived banks, insurers and others by exaggerating the value of assets on his annual financial statements, which were used in making deals and securing loans.

Trump may lose his entire empire in the coming months.

Good thing he doesn't have a lot of backing... there would be more than enough people, who wouldn't care and just back him because of his relatives.
