Judge Engoron takes steps to freeze Donald Trump’s assets
Judge Arthur Engoron has already summarily ruled that Donald Trump, his company, and his sons are liable for financial fraud. This trial is strictly to determine the size of the financial penalties levied against them.
In a sign that we’re getting closer to the end, the judge has is ordering Trump and his sons not to move any money around without getting permission first, and not to attempt to open any new business entities. They also have seven days to submit a full accounting of every business entity they own, and who else has ownership in it.
In other words Donald Trump’s assets are now in the process of being frozen – and there’s nothing he can do about it. The fun part is that if he fails to comply, or if he tries to falsify his filings, he’ll get caught in the act and it’ll end up being even worse for him. So as with every other aspect of Trump’s life these days, it’s a matter of just how badly he wants to lose and how painful he wants it to be for himself.
