A last-minute legal challenge by former President Donald Trump's lawyers could disrupt a trial scheduled for next month in the New York attorney general's business fraud lawsuit against the former president and his company.
Other proceedings in New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Organization will proceed as scheduled, Friedman said. They include oral arguments slated for Sept. 22 on requests from James' office and Trump's lawyers that Engoron decide on some or all of the case before the trial starts.In a statement, James said,"We are confident in our case and will be ready for trial.
"Do you know the banks were fully paid? Do you know the banks made a lot of money?" Trump testified."Do you know I don't believe I ever got even a default notice, and even during COVID, the banks were all paid? And yet you're suing on behalf of banks, I guess. It's crazy. The whole case is crazy." Before that, Trump also sought to remove the judge in his Manhattan hush-money criminal case. Trump's lawyers argued Judge Juan Manuel Merchan is biased because he's given money to Democrats and his daughter is a party consultant, but Merchan last month rejected their request to recuse himself, saying he is certain of his"ability to be fair and impartial."
