On Friday, a New York Appellate Judge struck down far-left Judge Arthur Engoron and delayed his order to dissolve Trump Org.
As a punishment for Letitia James’ civil case, Judge Engoron issued an order last Friday rescinding Trump’s business licenses. Engoron basically ordered Trump Org’s collapse.
“Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations.”
“If not successfully appealed, the order would strip Trump of his authority to make strategic and financial decisions over some of his key properties in the state.”
Last Friday, Trump alleged the ruling violated his civil rights: “My Civil Rights have been violated, and some Appellate Court, whether federal or state, must reverse this horrible, un-American decision,” Trump stated on Truth Social.

After day 5 of Letitia James’ communist show trial, Judge Peter Moulton stopped Engoron’s decision to dismantle the Trump Organization on Friday afternoon.
The Judge, however, refused to halt the fraud trial.
A New York appellate judge declined to pause Donald Trump’s ongoing civil fraud trial, after attorneys for Trump sought a stay of the trial while they appeal Judge Arthur Engoron’s summary judgment ruling last week that decided the core of the case.
Judge Peter Moulton issued the ruling minutes after hearing oral arguments from both sides. While he did not pause the trial, he did stop the immediate cancelation of Trump’s business certificates that Engoron had ordered last week.
“This is everything owned or controlled by the defendant. Once you dissolve you dissolve,” defense attorney Christopher Kise argued in an afternoon hearing convened at the Appellate Division’s First Department. “It’s chaos. It’s chaos right now.”
Eric Trump took to social media to thank the appellate court for pausing the dissolution of Trump’s businesses, Trump Org.
“We thank the Appellate Division for staying the NY Attorney General’s and Judge Engoron’s overzealous attempt to cancel our New York business certificates. Judge Engoron’s order erroneously sought to adjudicate the rights of non-party business entities that employ nearly 1,000 hard-working New Yorkers, have never been accused of any wrongdoing and, were never given their day in court – in clear violation of their fundamental Constitutional rights and Due Process. We will continue to vigorously defend our company and our incredible employees from this politically-motivated persecution.”

In the evolving legal landscape surrounding the Trump Organization in New York, tensions are high and opinions are polarized. The Appellate Division’s recent intervention to suspend Judge Engoron’s decision underscores the complex and multifaceted nature of this case. This move has highlighted the intricate balance of upholding the legal system’s integrity while ensuring that businesses, especially those employing many, aren’t unduly impacted. As the trial proceeds, all eyes will be on the courts to see how they handle these intersecting issues. The civil fraud trial is still ongoing, and its outcome could have broad implications not only for Donald Trump and his organization, but also for the larger questions about the intersection of business, politics, and law.
