They’re stealing Trump’s business and fortune.
Judge Engoron on Thursday denied Trump’s request to delay enforcement of the $355 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James threatens to seize Trump’s buildings.
Engoron last Friday ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”
Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts in falsifying business records and valuations, causing materially fraudulent SFCs to be intentionally submitted to insurance companies.”
Trump’s real crime was doing business in New York City. Donald Trump took out loans, paid the loans back on time, paid interest on the loans, and the banks agreed to do business with him in the future. Everyone made a profit. This was once called capitalism. Engoron made it a crime in New York City with his outrageous penalties against President Trump to bankrupt him and his company.
Eric Trump and Don Jr. were ordered to pay $4,013,024 each.
Trump’s attorney Robert Clifford requested a 30-day delay to allow for an “orderly post-judgment process.”
“To deprive Defendants of the opportunity to submit a proposed counter-judgment would be contrary to fundamental fairness and due process,” Robert Clifford argued to the Court on Wednesday.
Clifford argued that Letitia James denied Trump due process.
“The Attorney General has not filed any motion on notice, nor moved to settle the proposed Judgment,” Clifford Robert said Wednesday’s filing. “Her unseemly rush to memorialize a ‘judgment’ violates all accepted practice in New York state court.”
After ruling against Trump every step of the way, Engoron denied the request. Of course he did.
“You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay,” Engoron wrote in an email on Thursday, according to ABC News. “I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights.

RELATED: Judge in Trump civil fraud case denies request to delay $355 million penalty
Trump was barred from operating his business in New York for three years and was found liable for $355 million in damages in the civil fraud case
Published February 23, 2024
A New York judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case has denied his legal team’s request to avoid paying a $355 million penalty in the case.
Trump lawyers had asked Judge Arthur Engoron to delay enforcement of the payment by 30 days to allow time for an “orderly post-judgement process.”
In an email to the defendants posted Thursday to the court docket, Engoron said they had “failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.”
“I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights,” he wrote.
Trump’s defense team faces Judge Engoron on day 3 of fraud trial
Former President Donald Trump’s defense team was filmed before Judge Arthur Engoron on day 3 of his fraud trial.
Last week, Trump was barred from operating his business in New York for three years and was found liable for $355 million in damages in the civil fraud case brought against him, his family and the Trump Organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
James said Monday she was prepared to seize Trump’s assets if he is unable to pay the massive judgment handed down in his civil fraud case.
Trump could be at risk of losing some of his prized properties if he can’t pay his staggering New York civil fraud penalty. With interest, he owes the state nearly $454 million — and the amount is going up $87,502 each day until he pays.
Engoron concluded that Trump lied for years about his wealth as he built the real estate empire that vaulted him to stardom and the White House. Trump denies wrongdoing and has vowed to appeal.

RELATED: Did Marjorie Taylor Greene Post That NY Judge in Trump Case ‘Should Be Disrobed’?
The matter led to the word “disrobed” trending on X in late February 2024.
Published February 23, 2024
On Feb. 22, 2024, users on X shared a screenshot of a post that claimed U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. — a strong supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump — had posted that a judge who oversaw a case involving Trump should be “disrobed.”
The definition of “disrobe” is “to take off one’s clothing,” according to Merriam-Webster.com. Meanwhile, Cambridge.org offers a slightly different definition of the word: “to remove your clothes, especially an outer or formal piece of clothing worn for ceremonies.”

This was an authentic post (archived) by Greene and not a fake tweet like so many other social media rumors we’ve reported on in the past. In the post, Greene misspelled the judge’s name, writing, “Judge Engeron should be disrobed and thrown out, he’s a disgrace!!”
The post referenced Judge Arthur Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court — who just days earlier ordered Trump to pay $354 million in fines, plus nearly $100 million in additional interest, after finding in a civil fraud trial that he had lied about his wealth for years on financial statements.
Snopes reached out to Greene via a DM on X to ask about the “disrobed” post but did not receive a response before this story was published.
Users on X discussed the post after the word “disrobed” began to trend on the platform, with one person posting that she likely had been suggesting having Engoron disbarred — expelled from the profession.
