The former president had argued that hundreds would lose their jobs due to the judge’s order
After a hearing on Friday, an appeals court granted a stay, or pause, on a judge’s order that former President Donald Trump’s businesses be dissolved.
This was only a partial victory for President Trump, as the appeals court said the trial that began this week could continue.
The prosecutors had opposed the request for a delay, accusing the defense attorneys of attempting “to sow chaos” and disruption.
The Trump Organization issued a statement after the pause, calling the judge’s order to cancel the Trumps’ business certificates “overzealous.”
“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,” the statement reads.
Appeal
President Trump’s attorneys appealed the civil fraud case against him on Oct. 4 and Oct. 5, filing a 1,154-page document in a bid to pause the currently ongoing trial.
“[New York] Supreme Court’s Sept. 26 and Oct. 5, 2023 decision impose unauthorized, undemanded, overbroad relief without proper factual or legal predicate, which will result in significant, irreparable harm,” states the reason for requesting a stay on the case.

RELATED: FBI Creates ‘MAGA’ Extremist Category, Targets Trump Supporters Ahead Of 2024 Election
PUBLISHED October 7, 2023
The Biden FBI has ‘quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers’ ahead of the 2024 election, according to prolific (and well connected) anti-war journalist and political commentator, William Arkin, who has previously reported on the FBI’s efforts to “Fight MAGA Terrorism.”
In a Wednesday Newsweek article, Arkin reveals that the vast majority of FBI investigations into “anti-government” activities are of Trump supporters.
“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” a current FBI official told Arkin, who added that the agency’s stated intent is stopping a repeat of January 6th type incidents (which was riddled with feds), while balancing the Constitutional right of Americans to protest the government “Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully,” the official continued.
Newsweek spoke to over a dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism in a three-month investigation to understand the current domestic-security landscape and to evaluate what President Joe Biden‘s administration is doing about what it calls domestic terrorism. Most requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly, were reluctant to stray into partisan politics or feared the repercussions of speaking frankly.
Newsweek has also reviewed secret FBI and Department of Homeland Security data that track incidents, threats, investigations and cases to try to build a better picture. While experts agree that the current partisan environment is charged and uniquely dangerous (with the threat not only of violence but, in the most extreme scenarios, possibly civil war), many also question whether “terrorism” is the most effective way to describe the problem, or that the methods of counterterrorism developed over the past decade in response to Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups constitute the most fruitful way to craft domestic solutions.
We would note that an FBI whistleblower in March claimed that the agency pressured him to inflate domestic terrorism figures against conservatives, and that the agency created a specific threat tag for pro-lifers “THREATSCOTUS2022” following the leaked Supreme Court opinion on abortion (and not a threat tag for the violent leftists who threatened SCOTUS justices?).

RELATED: ABC News Buries the Most Crucial Part About the Latest Trump Update on His Handling of Classified Info
PUBLISHED October 5, 2023
With House Republicans scrambling to select a new speaker, which won’t happen until next week, the media decided to drop the latest development concerning Donald Trump’s legal woes and mishandling of classified information. It’s all bad news for the GOP—why not pour more gasoline on this bonfire? Trump has already been indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith, constituting the most robust case against the former president. The Stormy Daniels and January 6 indictments are fallacious, as is New York’s civil case against him on fraud.
The classified document case is a pickle, as the former president didn’t do himself any favors regarding mitigating risk. These are some of the most vicious anti-Trump prosecutors and attorneys working for the Department of Justice. They can and will make any case against him, which is the new rule regarding any Trump-related legal developments: expect the absolute worst. That’s not the case here, for once.
The latest development with Trump and sensitive information involves his conversations with an Australian billionaire, Anthony Pratt, at Mar-a-Lago after he left office, where he told him about the capabilities of our nuclear submarine fleet, which Pratt later spilled to other individuals. Based on the story and its headline, you’d think Trump is about to face another wave of legal hellfire. Nope, it’s a classic buried lede (via ABC News) [emphasis mine]:

RELATED: Trump drops $500M suit brought against Michael Cohen over ‘falsehoods’
Donald Trump dropped his $500 million lawsuit against ex-legal fixer Michael Cohen for allegedly having “spread falsehoods” about the former president.
PUBLISHED October 6, 2023
Donald Trump dropped his $500 million lawsuit against his ex-legal fixer Michael Cohen for allegedly having “spread falsehoods” about the former president — including a purported “hush money” payment made to the porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump attorney Alejandro Brito asked for the suit to be dismissed without prejudice in a late Thursday court filing, just six months after the 77-year-old accused Cohen of breaking a confidentiality agreement between the two.
“Given that President Trump is required to sit for deposition in a civil matter on Columbus Day, when he is scheduled to be in the Great State of New Hampshire, and while the President is fighting against the meritless claims that have been lodged against him in New York, Washington D.C., Florida, and Georgia, as well as continuing his winning campaign, where he is leading the Republicans by 60 points and Crooked Joe Biden by 11 points, to serve as our next President of the United States, President Trump has decided to temporarily pause his meritorious claims against Michael Cohen,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told the Post in a statement.
“Once President Trump has prevailed in dealing with the witch hunts against him, he will continue to pursue his claims against Michael Cohen, who rightfully deserves to, and will be held accountable for his unlawful words and actions just as the Southern District of New York held him accountable for numerous non — Trump related acts and crimes, making Cohen a very ‘proud’ felon.”
Cohen’s lawyer Danya Perry hailed the dismissal of what she called a “baseless lawsuit” as “a great win.”
“This is a great win for Michael and for our team, and it confirms what we’ve said from the beginning: this was a baseless lawsuit solely brought to retaliate against our client for his willingness to testify truthfully against Trump, including before Congress, in the NY Attorney General’s fraud suit, and in the NY District Attorney’s criminal case related to Trump’s hush money payments,” Perry said.
