Judge approves New York AG’s bid for monitor to oversee Trump Org – By Erin Doherty (Axios) / Nov 3, 2022
A judge on Thursday sided with New York Attorney General Letitia James in her bid for an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization’s preparation of financial statements amid pending review of a civil lawsuit.
Driving the news: “This court will appoint an independent monitor, to be paid by defendants, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this order,” New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron wrote in the court filing.
- “If the monitor reasonably determines that defendants have violated this order, the monitor shall immediately report that matter to [Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York], defendants, and this Court.”
- The order also prevents the Trump Organization from selling or transferring any non-cash assets without giving the court and James’ office 14 days notice.
- Engoron has overseen previous legal battles between the former president and James, Politico notes.
