A New York appeals court on Thursday refused to delay Donald Trump's scheduled Monday civil fraud trial, after the former U.S. president accused the trial judge of wrongly refusing to throw out most of the case.
The decision was issued by the Appellate Division, a mid-level appeals court in Manhattan.
It came two days after state court Justice Arthur Engoron found that Trump and his family business persistently and fraudulently overvalued his assets and net worth in order to obtain better terms on loans and insurance.
The claims had been brought in September 2022 by state Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Trump, his adult sons, the Trump Organization and others of "staggering fraud" in how they valued properties.
