Judge Arthur Engoron issued an order on Thursday requiring former President Donald Trump to disclose ahead of time any transfer of assets or creation of any entities.
The order was released as the former president’s fraud trial in New York enters its fourth day, and places Trump, along with the other defendants in the case, under the scrutiny of an independent monitor appointed by Engoron.
The independent monitor appointed in the order is former Judge Barbara Jones, and it mandates that the defendants provide her a “list of all entity defendants and any other entities controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney.”
wouldn’t he have already moved all this stuff before the trial?
The problem is that he has decades of his and his family’s businesses being founded and run in New York. It’s only over the past couple years that he’s trying to get out. For a competent person this would be a long and difficult task taking years. If you’re an idiot who can’t get a lawyer, you’re screwed.
Judge is probably more trying to keep him from moving cash and valuable objects or making bank transfers. In the meantime, all his businesses and properties will be sold off
If he were smart
I don’t know if he’s humble enough to think that he might have needed to.
