A New York appellate court on Wednesday ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot delay the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee his real estate empire, which is facing a civil fraud lawsuit by the New York attorney general, Letitia James.
Angela Mazzarelli, an associate justice on the Appellate Division, a mid-level state appeals court, denied Trump’s request for a stay, or a halt, of Manhattan-based Justice Arthur Engoron’s Nov. 3 order requiring an independent monitor, a third-party expert, for the Trump Organization while it pursues an appeal.
