Trump hails ‘great ruling’ from NYC courthouse
Trump Celebrates Appellate Court’s ‘Very Good Ruling’ from Inside NYC Courthouse
Former President Donald Trump is elated by what he describes as a “very good ruling” from a New York appellate court. The court has allowed Trump to delay complying with an order to dissolve his Empire State businesses until their status can be reviewed by a four-judge panel.
The Appellate Division, First Department’s rulings on Thursday have affirmed this pause, providing Trump with some relief. However, the court has refused to halt Trump’s civil fraud trial, according to The Messenger.
Trump expressed his gratitude for the rulings, stating, ”I think the country appreciates it.” His attorney, Christopher Kise, added, “President Trump very much appreciates the court’s consideration and ruling today. The ruling helps pave the way for a much-needed, and deliberative, review of the trial court’s many errors.”
Trump further emphasized the significance of the ruling, describing it as “very powerful” and a “great thing for the country” during his press conference.

Trump has been highly critical of the non-jury trial against him and his businesses, referring to it as a “weaponization of justice.” He has also accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “election interference,” as reported by Fox News.
Trump and his legal team found solace in the testimony of defense expert witness Eli Bartov, an accounting professor at New York University. Bartov reviewed Trump’s financial information and concluded that there was no evidence of accounting fraud or material misstatements.
Kevin Wallace from the AG’s office criticized Bartov’s testimony, dismissing it as “pure speculation.” However, Bartov fired back, asserting his commitment to telling the truth.
Trump praised Bartov as a “highly respected man” and reiterated his belief that the trial is a political witch hunt orchestrated by the White House to influence the election.

Trump vehemently criticized the case, asserting that it should have never been brought and calling it an attempt at election interference. He expressed his disappointment in being in the courthouse instead of campaigning in Iowa, where he claims to be leading by a significant margin.
In a positive turn for Trump, a Deutsche Bank AG executive confirmed in November that there were no victims or harm caused by the actions alleged by New York Attorney General James.

What argument has Trump’s legal team put forward in regards to the trial?
Ates-panel”>Fox News.
Trump’s legal team has argued that the trial is politically motivated and is aimed at tarnishing Trump’s reputation and undermining his potential political comeback. One of Trump’s attorneys, Ronald Fischetti, stated that they will continue to fight the case and bring it to the Supreme Court if necessary, as per NBC News.
The trial, which began in late September, alleges that the Trump Organization engaged in fraudulent practices, including inflating property values to obtain loans and tax benefits. The broader investigation led by the New York Attorney General’s office has been ongoing for several years.
While the appellate court’s ruling may provide temporary relief for Trump, the civil fraud trial will continue. It remains to be seen how the trial and the ongoing legal battle will impact Trump’s political ambitions and the perception of his business empire.
Observers from both sides of the political spectrum are closely following the developments and are eager to see the eventual outcome of the case. For now, however, Trump welcomes the appellate court’s ruling as a step in the right direction.
