'New York attorney general: I will not submit to Trump's violence'

The appeal seeks an evaluation of whether Judge Engoron made legal and/or factual errors, abused his discretion, and exceeded his authority.

Justice Engoron is expected to rule on issues such as the amount of the fine for the Trump companies and the revocation of their license to do business in New York State. The fraud trial is a civil case, not a criminal case, and there is no jury in the trial. It is not expected that anyone will receive a prison sentence as a result of the trial. It is expected,''that the trial will last until mid-December. Trump has previously been absent from many of the court hearings related to allegations of 'sexual harassment' and 'tax fraud', so his participation in the trial, despite not committing to testify, has been hailed as a 'surprise development'." Trump responded to a question from reporters yesterday about whether he would testify during the trial by saying: "Yes, I will testify at the appropriate time. "

The chief prosecutor, Letitia James, alleges in the indictment that Trump and his children inflated the wealth of their companies and family by $3.6 billion, and asks the judge to bar Trump and his children from forming companies in New York, prohibit the acquisition of commercial''s real estate holdings over five years and impose a $250 million fine. The indictment alleges that in Trump Organization transactions and financial documents, Trump overstated the value of assets and exaggerated his net worth by defrauding banks, insurers and businesses.
