China Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Trump Forms New Company, Drawing Scrutiny From N.Y. Attorney General Days before the New York attorney general filed a lawsuit accusing Donald J. Trump and his company of fraud and seeking to shut down some of their business in the state, Mr. Trump’s lawyers created a new company in Delaware. The new company’s name had a familiar ring to it: the Trump Organization, the same name as his old company, now threatened by the lawsuit. And on Sept. 21, the day the suit was filed, the new Delaware company filed paperwork in New York, seeking to be recognized there as the Trump Organization II. Those maneuvers were detailed for the first time in a court filing on Thursday from the attorney general, Letitia James, who raised the prospect that Mr. Trump was seeking an end run around some of her lawsuit’s harshest potential punishments. By forming the new company, her filing said, the Trump Organization “now appears to be taking steps to restructure its business to avoid existing responsibilities under New York law,” raising concerns that the business might shift assets out of state. But her filing acknowledged that Mr. Trump’s lawyers had explicitly said they had not taken any steps to avoid the potential consequences of the lawsuit. Mr. Trump’s lawyers, according to the court filing, also offered to provide “assurances and advance notice” to address Ms. James’s concerns. And because the new company was formed before the lawsuit was filed, Mr. Trump’s lawyers would not have known the specific consequences the attorney general was seeking. Ms. James, however, remained concerned about the company’s motives and sought intervention from a judge. Her Thursday filing requested an order from the judge that would prohibit the Trump Organization from transferring its assets without court approval.

China Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 This should come as no surprise to anyone: Trump’s company charged Secret Service ‘exorbitant’ hotel rates to protect the first family, House committee report says The Trump Organization charged the Secret Service “exorbitant rates” – upwards of $1.4 million over four years – to protect the former President and his family at properties they owned, according to documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. The committee found that the Trump Organization charged the Secret Service “excessive nightly rates on dozens of trips” as high as $1,185 per night despite claims by the former President’s company that federal employees traveling with him would stay at those properties “for free” or “at cost.” “The exorbitant rates charged to the Secret Service and agents’ frequent stays at Trump-owned properties raise significant concerns about the former President’s self-dealing and may have resulted in a taxpayer-funded windfall for former President Trump’s struggling businesses,” the panel’s chairwoman, New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney, wrote in a letter to the service’s director on Monday. When he was president, Trump traveled frequently to properties his company ran as businesses, including Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. While he was there, some agents and officers stayed in rooms at those properties, though others rented rooms at nearby hotels. Charging his protective detail for lodging at his own properties was a controversial practice when Trump was in office and has continued in his post-presidency.

China Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Donald Trump finally gets served $250 million NY fraud lawsuit after 3 weeks — and a court order Donald Trump has lost the first legal skirmish in his battle against New York's attorney general, Letitia James, and her $250 million fraud case against him: After three weeks and a court order, he's been officially served with the 220-page lawsuit. Trump was finally served through his attorney, Alina Habba, "by sending in electronic mail a message containing a secure cloud link to pdf attachments of all the documents," James said in a court filing Thursday. The lawsuit accuses the Trump Organization of a decadelong pattern of fraudulently exaggerating the company's worth; it seeks a quarter-billion dollars in penalties and to bar the Trumps from doing business in New York. Representatives for Trump and his son Eric, an executive vice president at his father's company, had evaded service of the lawsuit ever since it was filed three weeks ago, on September 21. Habba and a lawyer for Eric Trump, Clifford Robert, never replied to emails sent by the attorney general that same day requesting confirmation that they were the appropriate persons to accept service, her office complained in a court filing last week. Lawyers for all of the suit's other defendants, including Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., had meanwhile quickly accepted service. The silent treatment from Donald and Eric Trump came despite Habba and Robert having submitted notices to the court in late September — called "notices of appearance" — declaring themselves to be attorneys of record for the case. The apparent runaround led James' office to accuse Trump's side of "gamesmanship." Last week, she sought a court order that allowed her to simply email the papers to Habba and Robert and be done with it. The Manhattan judge handling the case quickly agreed, ruling Thursday that emailing the papers to the two lawyers would suffice as service to both Trumps. James fired off those emails the same day, their Monday filing said. Habba and Robert have not responded to Insider's requests for comment on the delay in service of the lawsuit. The judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, set October 31 as the date for oral arguments in the lawsuit's next dispute.

China Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Trump Fraud Suit Will Stay Before Judge Who Held Him in Contempt Former President Donald Trump lost his request to transfer New York’s fraud lawsuit against him and his company to a different court division in Manhattan, ensuring the case will remain before the same judge who once held him in contempt of court. An administrative judge on Wednesday denied a motion by Trump and the Trump Organization to move the case the court’s Commercial Division rather than keep it before Justice Arthur Engoron, who repeatedly ruled against Trump in a fight over New York’s subpoenas before the suit was filed. New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued last month after a three-year investigation, had asked the court to keep the case before Engoron as a “related matter.” James’s motion for a preliminary injunction last week was blasted by Trump’s lawyer as part of an effort to keep the case with Engoron, whom Trump has called unfair.

China Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 One more lawsuit for Trump's pile: Trump Deposed in Suit by Investors Claiming Fraud in ‘Apprentice’ Videophone Pitches Lawyers for investors who claim they were defrauded by Donald Trump more than a decade ago finally got a chance to depose the former president about his marketing of a failed videophone venture on “Celebrity Apprentice,” according to a person familiar with the matter. A New York judge had ordered Trump to sit for questions in the videophone case by Oct. 31, after a planned testimony date was derailed by Hurricane Ian and triggered a fierce war of words between lawyers for plaintiffs and Trump. The deposition, which occurred earlier this month, hadn’t been reported. Trump, his company and his three oldest children were sued in 2018 by four investors who claim they were duped by Trump’s promotions into paying thousands of dollars to become independent sellers with ACN Opportunity LLC, which sold a doomed videophone device that the future US president touted as the next big thing. The clunky devices were made obsolete by smartphones. “As we complete fact discovery in this important fraud case, we could not be more pleased with the substantial body of evidence we have developed that will prove our clients’ claims,” plaintiffs’ lawyer Roberta Kaplan said in an email. “We are eager to move this case forward to trial as soon as possible.” Trump has denied wrongdoing, arguing his comments praising ACN as an essentially risk-free investment amounted to mere “puffery” that no “reasonable investor” would have relied on.

China Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I imagine Trump's lawyers wish he would just STFU. Doesn't seem like a good strategy to piss of the judge before your trial starts: 'Vicious, Biased': Trump Assails Judge in NY Fraud Lawsuit Donald Trump is lashing out at the judge handling the New York attorney general's fraud lawsuit against him and his company, calling him “vicious, biased, and mean” in a social media post just days before the case’s first court hearing. The former president, who has been on the losing side of Judge Arthur Engoron’s rulings in the past, coupled Friday’s criticism with complaints that — as a politician — he shouldn't be forced to deal with legal action until after the midterm elections on Nov. 8. In a separate case, opening statements are set for Monday in the Trump Organization’s criminal tax fraud trial following the completion of jury selection on Friday. The company’s criminal tax fraud trial, which involves allegations that senior executives received off-the-books compensation, could last into December. Six alternate jurors were picked Friday to complete the panel needed for the trial. On Monday, jury selection is scheduled to begin in the Bronx in a civil lawsuit brought by protesters who say they were roughed up by Trump’s security guards. Trump’s outburst about Engoron came in the third case, a civil lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James, after an administrative judge refused Tuesday to have the matter reassigned to another judge.

China Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Trump sues New York AG Letitia James after she sued him for $250M Former President Donald Trump asked a Florida court on Wednesday to shield his revocable trust from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has filed a $250 million civil lawsuit against Trump and his family. Trump, when he became president, put his ownership of the Trump Organization into the revocable trust that he is now trying to shield from the attorney general’s lawsuit. In a 41-page civil lawsuit laden with familiar grievances, the former president accused James of "intimidation and harassment" and of making repeated "attempts to steal, destroy or control all things Trump," including the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust that contains his private estate plan, and decisions about the disposition of his assets upon death. The lawsuit said the trust "requires protection from James' demand to invade his privacy." As part of her lawsuit, James has sought documents about the trust, its terms and its contents. "These are private matters to President Trump, and under Florida law, revelation of a settlor's revocable trust while the settlor is still alive threatens the settlor's right to privacy guaranteed by Article I, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution and the common law," Trump's lawsuit states. A spokeswoman for James issued a statement Wednesday night, saying, "Multiple judges have dismissed Donald Trump's baseless attempts to evade justice, and no number of lawsuits will deter us from pursuing this fraud. We sued Donald Trump because he committed extensive financial fraud. That fact hasn't changed, and neither will our resolve to ensure that no matter how powerful or political one might be, no one is above the law."

China Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Judge approves New York AG's bid for monitor to oversee Trump Org A judge on Thursday sided with New York Attorney General Letitia James in her bid for an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization's preparation of financial statements amid pending review of a civil lawsuit. Driving the news: "This court will appoint an independent monitor, to be paid by defendants, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this order," New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron wrote in the court filing. "If the monitor reasonably determines that defendants have violated this order, the monitor shall immediately report that matter to [Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York], defendants, and this Court." The order also prevents the Trump Organization from selling or transferring any non-cash assets without giving the court and James' office 14 days' notice.
