New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron has denied former President Donald Trump’s request for a 30-day stay of judgment after defense attorneys protested the attorney general’s “rush” for enforcement.

“I intend to sign the proposed judgment this morning,” Justice Engoron wrote in a Feb. 22 email. The judgment has already been delivered to the county clerk, according to the docket.
