Judge Engoron Accepts New Terms on TRUMP Organization $175MIL Bond
 
Judge Engoron Was Dubious of TRUMPs' $175MIL Bond Agreement at Revocation Hearing

Donald Trumps' attorneys reached an agreement with Attorney General Letitia James' office in court Monday — leading to Judge Arthur Engoron agreeing to accept the $175 million bond in his civil fraud case.

Donald Trumps attorneys reached an agreement with Attorney General Letitia James' office in court Monday — leading to Judge Arthur Engoron agreeing to accept the $175 million bond in his civil fraud case.



At issue was James' concern that the bond offered by Knight Specialty Insurance Company had a Charles Schwab account owned by Trump as collateral — while Trump still had access to the funds in it.

Lawyer Andrew Amer from James' office explained in court that the problem with the Schwab collateral is that "while the funds are cash today, under the terms of the pledge agreement and control agreement they can be swapped out for less secure collateral like mutual funds," Law360 reporter Rachel Scharf quoted from inside the proceeding.

Trump's lawyer, Chris Kise, explained that even if the bond falls through, there would be a backup for collecting the judgment.

“There's hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate that the defendants own right here in the city that could be seized with the stroke of your pen," Kise said.

Ultimately, after a back and forth, Judge Engoron agreed to the pledge by Kise to maintain the Schwab account in cash and give the Knight Insurance company complete control of it.

The previous offer had Trumps trust sharing control.

"Andrew Amer says 'the AG is fine with all these conditions stipulated on the record.'" Scharf wrote.

Judge Engoron Investigated Over UNSOLICITED 'Talk' From SUSPENDED Lawyer About TRUMP Case

A New York real estate lawyer, whose law license was once
suspended, said he approached the judge presiding over Donald Trumps' civil fraud case to offer unsolicited advice about a law at issue in the case

BROKE Lawyer Adam Leitman Bailey made the claim during an interview with NBC New York, saying he spoke to Judge Arthur Engoron three weeks prior to the judges' February decision to fine the former president $454 million for falsely inflating the value of his assets


NBC further reported that the "judge, through a court spokesman, denied impropriety and said he was 'wholly uninfluenced' by Mr. Bailey."



"New York’s judicial oversight body has now launched an investigation into the alleged interaction

"Bailey, who said he is no fan of Trump, was not involved in the civil case and is not connected to any of the four separate criminal cases against the former president. He said he knows the judge from having appeared before him as a litigant 'hundreds of times,'" the article from Wednesday says.

"Bailey said he 'explained to him' that a fraud statute at issue in the case was not intended to be used to shut down a major company, especially in a case without clear victims. He said such a ruling would hurt New York's economy. Engoron had rejected a similar argument raised by the Trump team in court."


Retired Presiding New York Appellate Justice Alan Scheinkman said he "has questions about Bailey's account."

"Scheinkman, who now teaches legal ethics at Pace University Law School, said the interaction described by Bailey is 'very troubling,'" the article says.


'The fact that this lawyer made these statements — unprompted — during a recorded TV interview should raise serious concerns,' Scheinkman said."

Bombshell: TRUMP T.O. Facing HUGE Taxbill After NEW IRS Audit
 
Bombshell: TRUMP ORGANISATION Facing HUGE Taxbill.. NEW IRS Audit of TRUMP Could Cost Former President More Than $100 Million

Trump Could Owe $100 Million Over Improper Tax Breaks —Latest Financial Threat Even As His Net Worth Soars


ProPublica and The New York Times 13 MAY 2024



https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-...jpg&width=1440


Trump used a dubious accounting maneuver to claim improper tax breaks from his troubled Chicago tower, according to an IRS inquiry uncovered by ProPublica and The New York Times.


Losing a yearslong audit battle over the claim could mean a tax bill of more than $100 million.


The 92-story, glass-sheathed skyscraper along the Chicago River is the tallest and, at least for now, the last major construction project by Trump. Through a combination of cost overruns and the bad luck of opening in the teeth of the Great Recession, it was also a vast money loser.

But when Trump sought to reap tax benefits from his losses, the IRS has argued, he went too far and in effect wrote off the same losses twice.


The first write-off came on Trump’s tax return for 2008. With sales lagging far behind projections, he claimed that his investment in the condo-hotel tower met the tax code definition of “worthless,” because his debt on the project meant he would never see a profit. That move resulted in Trump reporting losses as high as $651 million for the year, ProPublica and the Times found.

There is no indication the IRS challenged that initial claim, though that lack of scrutiny surprised tax experts consulted for this article. But in 2010, Trump and his tax advisers sought to extract further benefits from the Chicago project, executing a maneuver that would draw years of inquiry from the IRS.

First, he shifted the company that owned the tower into a new partnership. Because he controlled both companies, it was like moving coins from one pocket to another. Then he used the shift as justification to declare $168 million in additional losses over the next decade.

TRUMP T.O. Facing HUGE Taxbill After Refusing to Release Tax Returns For Years
 
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) Proposal Would Force Trump to Do Something He's Refused to Do For Years

--- Refusing to Release His Trump Oganisation and Other Tax Returns, With The Blessing of Republicans in Congress.


MSRAW 22 MAY 2024


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=887


According to the Wall Street Journal, the bill, also sponsored by Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), "would force presidents and vice presidents to disclose their tax filings for the two years before entering the White House, for the years while in office, and for two years afterward"

And "compel them, along with close family members such as children, siblings and in-laws, to disclose payments from foreign entities as well as large gifts and loans from family members."


It remains unclear whether this bill, which Comer praises as "a good product" that resolves a "gray area" in ethics law, will gain traction in the House or pass the Senate. However, it is a surprising development after Donald Trump spent years refusing to release his tax returns

Comer has for months led an investigation to impeach President Joe Biden for allegedly laundering international bribes, although no evidence of this has turned up, even from the GOP committee members' own witnesses.

In recent weeks, Comer has floated the idea of quietly ending the impeachment inquiry with a simple criminal referral to the Justice Department rather than a vote on articles of impeachment, which would effectively end the matter.

The White House says “We’re always happy to look at Congressman Comer’s bright ideas,” but President Biden has already disclosed all relevant financial information.

AG James Tells NY Appeals Court REJECT TRUMPs' Deception on $454MIL Fraud Case
 
NY AG Letitia James Tells NY Appeals Court to REJECT TRUMPs' Meritless Arguments & Deception

As TRUMP Appeals $454 Million Fraud Case, NY AG Letitia James Fights Back


AP 24 AUG 2024


https://www.syracuse.com/resizer/OPY...7JKEJI2Q74.jpg



New York Attorney General Letitia James urged an appeals court to uphold the $454 million court judgment against former President Donald Trump for misleading lenders, arguing the award was "supported by overwhelming evidence" of his deception.


James' Wednesday night brief responded to Trumps appeal over the $454 million judgment he and some Trump entities face after Judge Arthur Engoron concluded that he inflated the value of his assets over several years to get better loan and insurance terms.


Interest is continuing to grow on that judgment, as well as on about $10 million in liability Engoron imposed against former Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg and Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr.


A Victimless Offense? NY AG disagrees


Trump argued in his July appeal brief that he didn't violate the New York fraud statute at issue in the case because, even assuming he misvalued his assets, he didn't hurt anyone.

He noted, for example, that the Trump Organization repaid Deutsche Bank hundreds of millions of dollars in loans it received after giving the bank Trump's financial statements, which included asset valuations that Engoron concluded were fraudulent.

The financial representations "involved no victims, no complaints, no evidence of causation, no injuries, no losses to any business or consumer, and no impact on any public interest," his lawyers wrote on his behalf.

James shot back that evidence of past harm isn't the only issue because one of the statute's purposes is to stop fraud before it causes harm.


The Stakes Are Large



https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxne....jpg?ve=1&tl=1


If Trump loses his appeal, he would have to come up with the hefty judgment in cash or watch James seize his assets.





The Republican presidential nominee has already indicated that would be painful: In March, his lawyers said coming up with a bond of more than $450 million bond to block James from seizing assets during his appeal was a "practical impossibility" unless he engaged in a real estate fire sale that "would inevitably result in massive, irrecoverable losses." The appeals court later reduced the bond to $175 million for him and his co-defendants.

'No Obedience' TRUMP-Leticia James & Alvin Bragg WONT Dismiss Civil/Criminal Case
 
NY AG Leticia James and NY DA Alvin Bragg Tell TRUMP They WILL NOT Dismiss His Cases

No Obedience in Advance: Alvin Bragg Shows NO Intention of Going Quietly


AP 12 DEC 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800




https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.c...1677886807.jpg

As we continue to look for points of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness, new reporting shows that Trumps demands that his New York civil fraud case and his NY guilty verdicts in his criminal case have been rejected by AG James and DA Bragg, respectively.




Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused Trumps lawyers' demands to dismiss his criminal guilty verdicts. "'President-elect immunity does not exist.' New York prosecutors defend Trump conviction."

NY Attorney General Leticia James refused Trumps lawyers demands to dismiss his civil fraud case. Pr Forbes: "New York AG Leticia James Rejects Trumps Request to Drop Civil Fraud Lawsuit."




A lot of Donald Trumps legal problems vanished when he won the presidency, but one Trump prosecutor isnt backing down, a legal expert said Wednesday.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance raised the discussion, pointing to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggs recent legal filing indicating that he isnt ready to let Trump off the hook in his fraud case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant?s inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist, Braggs office wrote in the 82-page filing urging Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trumps request.

According to Vance, Bragg made it clear he had no intention of going quietly

No obedience in advance from the office that obtained the only criminal conviction against Donald Trump before his election win ran out the clock on the three other criminal cases against him," the former prosecutor wrote.

After delays to assess Trumps claim that the case should be dismissed or at least he could not be sentenced because he was about to assume the presidency, the District Attorney flatly rejected Trumps argument that the Supreme Courts immunity ruling impacts their case and asked Judge Juan Merchan to proceed to sentencing.

She then added, Nothing, the DA writes, prevents Trump from being sentenced before the inauguration.

Vance also encouraged readers to use Bragg as an inspiration.


The Manhattan district attorney is not powerful outside of his own jurisdiction. He has little to bring to bear against the president of the United States.

But Alvin Bragg, who won a hard-fought conviction, stood up for it today and stood up for it against Donald Trump, the ex-prosecutor wrote. His courage should inspire us. It is a measure of the courage we are all capable of.

Going to Court Right Away Mr TRUMP: NY Attorney General Lines Up Legal Rematch With Trump

TRUMP offered federal workers BRIBES with about 8 months pay to '''clear out''' in effort to shrink government


MSNRAW 29 JAN 2025


https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/u...0479141326.jpg



Sen. Chuck Schumer announced Tuesday that FIREBRAND New York Attorney General Letitia James will go to court right away to challenge the federal aid freeze instituted by Trumps Office of Management and Budget.


A White House budget office memo called for a freeze on federal dollars being spent by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. It effectively puts a hold on multiple government operations until the agencies can ensure they comply with the removal of "DEI (diversity equity and inclusion) woke gender ideology and the Green New Deal.

This memorandum requires Federal agencies to identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the Presidents policies and requirements, the memo says.

Schumer called the freeze lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel. Its illegal, its unconstitutional.

The move will put James across the court from Trump, or his representatives, again. Last year, she successfully sued him and the Trump Organization for inflating asset values to obtain loans and deflating them for tax benefits.

FED Prosecutors Open Criminal Investigation Into NY Attn Gen-Trumps Referral
 
Trumps REVENGE; FED Prosecutors Open Criminal Investigation Into New York Attorney General

Exclusive: Prosecutors impanel federal grand jury in Virginia to hear evidence after Trump officials referral against Letitia James

The Guardian 9 MAY 2025


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/4f062...none&crop=none

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into New Yorks attorney general, Letitia James

Trump administration alleged last month in a referral that she may have falsified paperwork for properties she owns in Virginia and New York, according to people familiar with the matter.





The investigation marks a swift and notable escalation against James, a major political enemy of Donald Trump, who was ordered to pay more than $450MIL in penalties as a result of a lawsuit brought by James office that accused him of inflating his net worth to secure financial benefits.

In what appears to be the early stages of the FBI criminal investigation, prosecutors have impaneled a federal grand jury to hear evidence in the eastern district of Virginia after the head of the federal housing agency, William Pulte, last month made the referral to the justice department, the people said.

The investigation appears to be multipronged, the people said, with involvement from the FBI in New York in addition to Virginia. The investigation appears to have gathered pace only in recent weeks with news of the grand jury filtering through Trumps orbit in the last few days of April.

The criminal referral rehashed claims touted online by Trump allies that James may have committed fraud by attesting in paperwork in 2023 that she would make a house in Norfolk, Virginia, which she was helping a relative to buy, as her principal residence while she was New Yorks attorney general.

Whether the allegations are substantial enough to result in criminal charges remains unclear. But its existence, which has not been previously reported, regardless raises the legal stakes for James in what appears to be the first criminal inquiry into one of Trumps foremost political adversaries.

James has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated retribution. In a letter to the justice department last month, James lawyer argued the residency claim was a mistake and that she had told the mortgage broker the house would not be her main residence.

Director Pulte cherry picked an August 17, 2023 power of attorney that mistakenly stated the property to be Ms James principal residence, James lawyer, Abbe Lowell, wrote. The broker understood this, and that Ms James was not a Virginia resident.

Several employees at the FBI and the Justice Department allege they were abruptly fired without explanation, and often over minor issues like using pronouns in email signatures.


One Justice Department lawyer was suspected of being fired because he used he/him pronouns in his email signature, wrote DOJ reporter Perry Stein for The Washington Post

People interviewed say they believe another attorney was ousted because of a message he put on social media.
Others told to leave may not mesh with or may be disliked by Trumps political appointees, the people said. And some are suspected of speaking to the media without authorization

Stein, speaking with FBI and DOJ staff on the condition of anonymity, wrote that many employees were fired without explanation, given only a notice signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi that cited a vague explanation of presidential powers.

Max Stier, who leads the nonprofit organization Partnership for Public Service, which works to improve the effectiveness of the federal government, told The Washington Post the abrupt firings have frequently led to turnover at both agencies.

Many, many lawyers have resigned on their own power because they saw the writing on the wall, Stier said. They understood if they didnt leave on their own volition they would be subject to firing or if they stayed they felt they couldnt uphold their oath in a way that was consistent with their integrity


https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/article...TICS-TRUMP.jpg


Trump has long vowed to shrink the federal government, both in spending and staffing, and the FBI and DOJ, which he has viewed as politically hostile over his legal troubles in 2024, have been no exception.

More than a dozen DOJ lawyers who were involved in prosecuting Trump were fired just days into his second term.

Trump Was Obsessed With REVENGE Against Bolton in Days Before Raid But Said 'I Know Nothing About It'

MSRAW 23 AUG 2025


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800


John Bolton is one of the very few that has the courage to expose a MONSTER, even after Trump removed his security


The FBI raid on the home of Donald Trumps former National Security Adviser John Bolton is yet another alarming escalation to an authoritarian state, the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote on Friday


Bolton, a frequent critic of Trump since leaving office, appeared undeterred, posting criticisms of Trump to X as the agents searched his home but that does little to make the situation less alarming, the board wrote.

Trumps revenge campaign on Bolton took an ominous turn Friday, the board wrote. They brought two 'broad' warrants to search the premises. Agents showed up unannounced at his Bethesda, Md., home at 7 a.m. They confiscated his wife Gretchens phone because it was visible and not on her person.

Mr. Bolton had already left for his office, which is where FBI agents greeted him. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel publicly boasted about the whole operation, posting, NO ONE is above the law ... FBI agents on mission

Its hard to see the raid as anything other than vindictive, the board wrote, particularly since it follows similar beats to the FBI search at Mar a Lago that led to the criminal classified information removal case against Trump himself.

The investigation possibly stems from Trumps longstanding accusations that Bolton exposed classified information in his tell all book about his time in the Trump administration even though, as the board noted, the book had gone through an extensive pre publication scrub at the White House for classified material, and the Biden administration saw no need to pursue the matter.

Ultimately, this is a flimsy reason to criminally investigate Bolton, the board wrote and clearly has ulterior motives.

Trump may also hope the FBI raid will cause Mr. Bolton to shut up, though knowing him we cant imagine that working, the board concluded. The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas.


We WARNED this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and its turning out to be worse than we imagined

FED Judge Throws Out Criminal Cases Against James Comey And Letitia James

Judge says interim US attorney for eastern district of Virginia had no lawful authority to indict former FBI director and New York attorney general


The Guardian 25 NOV 2025


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/14bfe...none&crop=none


A federal judge threw out the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James on Monday, concluding that the prosecutor handling the cases was unlawfully appointed


https://assets.newsweek.com/wp-conte...lity=75&webp=1


Lindsey Halligan, who Trump named the interim US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia in September, had NO lawful authority to present the indictment against the former FBI director and New York attorney general, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, wrote in her opinion


I conclude that the attorney generals attempt to install Ms Halligan as Interim US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia was invalid and that Ms Halligan has been unlawfully serving in that role since September 22, 2025, Currie, who was appointed to the bench by Bill Clinton, wrote in her opinion. She added that all actions flowing from Ms Halligans defective appointment were unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside

The decision is a major win for Comey, who was charged with lying to Congress five years ago, and James, who was charged with mortgage fraud. Both unequivocally denied wrongdoing and said the cases were a thinly veiled effort by the Trump administration to punish them for opposing Trump.

I am heartened by todays victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country, James said in a statement. I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day.

Comey also praised the decision.

Im grateful that the court ended the case against me which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence, he said in a recorded video. This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters most because a message has to be sent that the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies.

I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again and my attitude is gonna be the same. Im innocent, I am not afraid, and I believe in an independent federal judiciary, he added.

US attorneys must be confirmed by the Senate. Federal law allows the attorney general to appoint someone to serve on an acting basis for 120 days while a nomination is pending. Once that 120 day period is up, the law allows the judges on the district court where the prosecutor handles cases to appoint a top prosecutor.

Halligans predecessor, Erik Siebert, began serving in the role on an interim basis in January. In May, at the end of the 120 day period, the judges in the eastern district of Virginia chose to extend his appointment. In September, Siebert was forced out of his role as it reportedly determined there was insufficient evidence to charge James with a crime.

Trump installed Halligan, a White House aide with no prosecutorial experience in the role and Comey was indicted on charges of lying to Congress days later. Halligan then indicted James on allegations of mortgage fraud shortly after that.

The Trump administration argued that the attorney general could simply revisit someone new every 120 days, but Currie said that would simply allow the attorney general to indefinitely appoint someone on an interim basis. The text, structure, and history of the law do not support the governments argument she wrote.


https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/me...Washington.jpg


Currie dismissed both cases without prejudice, which means the government could theoretically try to bring the charges again under a properly appointed US attorney.

But it is unclear if they could even do that in Comeys case because the statute of limitations for the crime he is charged with passed on 30 September 2025
