Judge Tries to Stop Trump From Hiding His Money
Judge Tries to Stop Trump From Hiding His Money
Justice Arthur F. Engoron wants to make sure Trump doesn't shift around his assets to hide them from a judgment against the Trump Organization.
The judge who doomed Donald Trump’s family business last week took an aggressive and preemptive step on Wednesday to ensure the former president can't secretly shift assets to salvage his real estate empire.
In an order that was posted on the fourth day of the former president’s bank fraud trial, Justice Arthur F. Engoron commanded that the Trumps identify any corporations they have—and come clean about any plans to move around money in an attempt to hide or keep their wealth.
It's a powerful maneuver meant to counter the sort of underhanded moves Trump has displayed so far during the three-year investigation.
My god. Are we seriously at a point the US government isn't able to get one washed up old traitorous racist to obey the rules in court? This is just sad. He should have been locked up so long ago it isn't even funny anymore.
It’s crazy how powerless the justice system is when they’re afraid to put you in jail. Is he gonna prove his Fifth Avenue claim?
I mean, he indirectly did already. Recently that dude shot what was it? Two people iirc, in the name of this total Magoo. That killer the other year was a MAGA and went on a shooting spree, and let's not forget those MAGAs that hilariously sacrificed themselves doing things like climbing a tiny stretch of wall, or crushing themselves in their own dumb ass insurrection on January 6th. The daft bastards.
Doubt it, I imagine long before that someone will prove exactly the opposite.
Will be funny to see Ivanka leave him once everyone knows how broke trump really is…
Ivanka's the daughter. Melania is the wife. ;)
I am now forever cursed for admitting I know this crap.
Looks like the loop-hole is that it's only binding on Trump, Jr., Eric, and Weisselburg.
So if he sets up a shell coompany for Barron or Melania, or Ivanka...
And Melania just had her pre-nup renegotiated. Hmmm...
