Judge Rejects Trump’s Bid to Delay Trial, Halts Business Dissolution

Judge Peter Moulton rejected a motion from former President Donald Trump to halt his civil fraud trial while awaiting the outcome of an appeal on a decision made by Judge Arthur Engoron.

Last week, Engoron determined that Trump engaged in fraudulent practices during his real estate ventures. Responding to this, Trump’s lawyer, Chris Kise, criticized the ruling as riddled with mistakes and maintained that there was no proof of misconduct.

Kise expressed concern about the potential irreversible damage to various businesses and their employees resulting from the decision to shut down Trump’s New York enterprises.

“Our aim isn’t to postpone the trial. All we ask for is a just trial,” Kise commented, describing the proceedings as disorderly.

On the other hand, Judith Vale, speaking on behalf of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, challenged the necessity of a trial suspension. She indicated her team’s openness to negotiate a temporary reprieve concerning some court orders during the trial’s duration.

Vale pointed out, “No one believes that invalidating permits will darken 40 Wall St. immediately,” implying that proceeding with the trial wouldn’t cause any immediate or irreparable damage.

Judge Moulton decided the trial should progress, but issued a temporary pause on the shutdown of Trump’s businesses.
