Trump loses his appeal 5-0.
In a 5-0 decision, the Appellate Division in Manhattan said James had established by "clear and convincing evidence" that Trump's response to the Dec. 1, 2021, subpoena was inadequate.

Looks like you might be half right.
"It is unclear what Donald Trump did with his salary from his last 6 months in office, which he promised to donate, according to The Washington Post.
While in office Donald Trump pledged to give away all of his $400,000 annual presidential salary. For the first three and a half of his presidency, he donated the money to federal agencies."
Donald Trump did not appear to donate his salary from his last 6 months in office as promised, says report

More document delays.
Trumps Fail To Turn Over Documents In Fraud Case, New York Attorney General Claims
In May 2022, the former president paid a $110,000 fine after Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena from the attorney general’s office. “For years, Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization have tried to thwart our lawful investigation, but today’s decision makes clear that no one can evade accountability,” Attorney General Letitia James said when a judge ordered Trump ordered to pay the fine last year.
The attorney general’s office is now saying the Trumps’ evasiveness has continued into the discovery process of the $250 million lawsuit, which alleges Donald Trump, his children, the Trump Organization and some of its top executives inflated property values to obtain economic benefits, such as securing cheaper loans. The defendants have denied the charges.
Last week, the attorney general’s office asked Engoron to intervene, saying the Trumps had started turning over documents but have not provided a timeline for when they will hand over everything.
The letter notes a significant decline in emails turned over from Ivanka Trump, dropping from an average of 1,200 emails per month in the first nine months of 2014 to just 37 emails a month in 2016. The attorney general’s office asked Ivanka’s lawyers about the issue and was unimpressed by their response. “Not only have defendants failed to offer any substantive response to this inquiry, but there have been no documents produced by Ms. Trump,” the attorney general’s office told the judge on Friday.

More delay attempts. Judge getting snippy.
[Trump's team asked for a three week delay.]
“Decline to sign; Defendants’ arguments are completely without merit,” Engoron wrote on the draft order, signing with his initials.

Judge getting snippier.
'You were warned': Judge reprimands Trump's lawyers in New York AG's $250M fraud case
"When I first heard those arguments, I thought that was a joke," said Judge Arthur Engoron, who added that he has repeatedly ruled on and been upheld on some of the arguments rehashed by defense."The rule on sanctions is if you've been warned, don't do it. You were warned," Engoron said.
Engoron told the courtroom that he intends to issue a single ruling by Tuesday that would decide the three major issues at question, including the government motion for partial summary judgment -- which could allow Engoron to decide a portion of or the entire case without a trial -- and New York Attorney General Letitia James' request to impose legal sanctions on the defendants.

New York judge finds Donald Trump liable for fraud
Engoron granted Attorney General Letitia James’ motion for summary judgment, finding Trump, his sons, and others “to be liable as a matter of law for persistent violations” of New York state law.Tuesday, the judge said that “the defendants’ reliance on these ‘worthless’ disclaimers is worthless.”
Per Green Sun's link: Engoron also ordered the cancellation of business certificates for the Trump Organization and other corporate defendants, and sanctioned Trump's lawyers for contributing to their clients' "obstreperous" conduct and making "preposterous" legal arguments during the case.
FreeinChrist was ~60 seconds faster than Green Sun with an AP link: “In defendants’ world: rent regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air; a disclaimer by one party casting responsibility on another party exonerates the other party’s lies,” Engoron wrote in his 35-page ruling. [Judge goes on to say [not literally] these business practices belong next to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Pinocchio's Daring Journey in Fantasyland.]

I like the fact that his defence was mostly not that he didn't lie. But that an interpretation of some of the the small print in his financial statements meant that he could.

I believe that's what Letitia James is asking for, but I think the final amount is still to be determined.
When you can divert campaign donations for your legal fees, it's in his best interests to stay in the race.

Engoron did sanction the lawyers $7,500, but some of them are fighting it, saying Engoron improperly imputed Alina Habba's nuttiness to them.
