Trump To Return To NYC : A Damning Precedent
Justice Arthur Engoron of New York County Supreme Court has already dealt a significant blow to Trump and his associates.

The judge is currently navigating the second week of testimony, determining whether to exile the Trump family from New York’s business landscape or impose substantial financial penalties, with the state seeking to reclaim a minimum of $250 million in illicit gains.
An appeals court has temporarily halted the judge’s actions to dissolve Trump’s companies while an appeal of the summary judgment ruling is underway.
