A New York judge overseeing a case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday slapped Donald’s company with a preliminary injunction preventing it from transferring any assets without approval from the court, NBC News reports. Judge Arthur Engoron also approved James’s proposal to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization’s financial statements and look for where the fat bastard overstated the value of his assets. This, to say the least, is not what Trump’s lawyers wanted at all. It is very, very bad for him and his business.
In related news, on Thursday the New York Times reported that there’s some serious infighting in the Orange God Emperor’s court of jesters, as the moronic lawsuit filed against James in a Florida court on Wednesday was seen as even more dumb and pointless than the last failed complaint against her. Trump’s minions reportedly blamed douchebag lawyer Boris Epshteyn for filing it against the advice of others. The lawsuit is apparently not just bad and filled with pointless tirades like “while James does nothing to protect New York against these violent crimes and criminals, she attacks great and upstanding businesses,” but it also jeopardizes Trump’s case in New York.
“This, certainly on its face, appears to be objectively frivolous. I’m aware of no authority that allows a state court in Florida to enjoin or otherwise interfere with a law enforcement investigation being conducted by New York state authorities,” Florida legal expert Gerald Greenberg (who is unconnected to the case) said to the Times after reading the complaint.
