NY - $250m fraud against Former President Donald Trump, Trump Org., Eric, Donald Jr., Sept 2022, Trial 2 Oct 2023, #2

Does anyone understand why he is calling her racist? Have I missed something?

Because he projects. He tries to deflect by accusing someone else of his own offenses, to deflate their power to accuse him back.

It worked for him for a long time but it won't work anymore. The legal system isn't influenced by what's "popular" or propagandized. (well, juries can be, but hopefully the arguments presented to them will make clear the lack of legal power of "who said it first" or "who gets their fans to yell the loudest").

All MOO

on Thursday, Engoron sided with Trump in a dispute over defense witnesses.

The state asked the judge to block four expert witnesses for the defense from testifying, saying they would cover material that the judge has already ruled on and waste the court's time. Engoron denied the state's motion, saying he was taking "the path of least resistance."

"One of my goals here is I don't want a retrial in this case. I don't want to be reversed," Engoron said.

Engoron also indicated that he would deny a motion by the defense for a "directed" verdict, which would essentially halt the case and find that the state failed to prove its allegations. He has yet to formally rule on the matter.

I just filed an official judicial complaint against Judge Arthur Engoron for his inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance in New York’s disgraceful lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization.Americans are sick and tired of the blatant corruption by radical Leftist judges in NY. All New Yorkers must speak out against the dangerous weaponized lawfare against President Trump. Read my full complaint below.

Seems like a political move and waste of taxpayer money.

I'd be willing to bet that most average Americans are "sick and tired of the blatant corruption by radical Leftist judges in NY". I felt disgusting and like a liar even typing that quote.

I meant to put "most average Americans are NOT..." but once I realized I didn't put that in there, the edit button was gone. You know I would never agree with that crap, @Stunned.

Defense is apparently going to start its case on Monday with testimony from DT Jr.
The other two trump boys are on the defense witness list also (Eric and trump himself).

Trump's lawyers have a risky plan to call as many as 3 Trumps back to the stand at his fraud trial, starting with Donald Trump, Jr.

The defense case starts Monday with the risky strategy of calling Donald Trump, Jr., to the stand a 2nd time. Encores of DJT and Eric are also expected.

The mortgage on former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan tower at 40 Wall St. has been transferred to a special servicer.

The Financial District building has been on watchlist status since February as costs and vacancies increased.

“Contact has been made with the borrower and a pre-negotiation letter is being reviewed,” according to a filing Friday on the building’s commercial mortgage-backed security.

Payments for the debt on the 72-story tower have been made through this month. The mortgage on 40 Wall St. has an outstanding balance of $122.6 million, down from an original $160 million, according to loan documents.

“The loan is in full conformance,” a Trump Organization spokesperson said in an email Friday. “We have never missed a payment, we have never paid late and we have never breached a loan covenant. We are incredibly proud of 40 Wall St. and we will continue to operate this world-class building.”

Also Friday, the owner of the Trump International Hotel Waikiki in Hawaii said it will rename the property, buying out a licensing agreement with the former president’s company and joining a brand in Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.’s system.

FWIW, a drug store on the ground floor of the building closed recently, so the building is losing that income from a tenant at 40 Wall. Duane Reade is a local chain of drug stores.


“'Theft is probably a factor as to why those stores closed as well as foot traffic,' said a real estate executive who did not want to be identified.

It was not clear whether Duane Reade is breaking its lease with the Trump Organization.

'I’m sure some people won’t walk into that store because of where it is,' said a broker who asked to remain anonymous."

“It costs a lot of money to keep a big store like this open and the streets are dead with a lot of mom and pop stores nearby closing.”

Why doesn't anyone call him or his lawyers on these irrelevant statements?

That's nice, the loan is in full conformance (assuming it is).

That is not what he's been charged with and is entirely beside the point.

Grr!
