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.
