Former President Donald Trump asked the judge overseeing the civil fraud case to delay enforcing the $355 million judgment against him for one month.

In a letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, Trump’s attorneys accuse New York Attorney General Letitia James of an “unseemly rush” to enforce the judgment by submitting a proposal for the judge to sign just days after the ruling.

Trump has 30 days from when a judgment is entered to post bond and appeal.

Last week, the judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest and imposed a three-year ban from acting as an officer of a New York business.

    I’m honestly waiting for the lawyers to argue that all of his federal court cases have to wait until after the election to see whether or not he has the power to cancel the trials.

      and I’m waiting for this complete farce of a “justice” system that allows a literal traitor to walk free for years continue to utterly fuck up its ONE JOB.

    Imagine asking a favor from the judge you’ve spent the last several months calling every name in the book, very publicly and openly, and insulting his staff, doxing and defaming his clerk, and in general acting like a spoiled, whiney brat. Then going, “please, sir, may I have some more… time?”

    I hope the judge tells him to get fucked

      In a year that’s still only 31 million. He’s probably hoping he will be president by then and attempt to pardon himself even from crimes not at the federal level.
