Trump’s lawyers are requesting a 30-day delay in the enforcement of penalties.
According to ABC NEWS, Attorneys for former President Donald Trump have asked the judge in his civil fraud trial to delay the enforcement of penalties in the case, including Trump’s $354 million fine and temporary ban on running a business in New York.
The defense lawyers in the case asked Judge Arthur Engoron to delay the enforcement of penalties by 30 days, to allow for an “orderly post-judgment process.”
The request stemmed from a dispute about the case’s judgment order, a court document that, at the end of a trial, starts the clock for the penalties in a case. Once Judge Engoron signs the judgment order, Trump gets 30 days to pay the judgment or post a bond, which would then allow him to appeal the case.
