A New York judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case has denied his legal team’s request to avoid paying a $355 million penalty in the case.
Trump lawyers had asked Judge Arthur Engoron to delay enforcement of the payment by 30 days to allow time for an “orderly post-judgement process.”
In an email to the defendants posted Thursday to the court docket, Engoron said they had “failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.”
“I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights,” he wrote.
James said Monday she was prepared to seize former President Donald Trump’s assets if he is unable to pay the massive judgment handed down in his civil fraud case.
