Donald Trump triumphs when he gets good news among his many legal challenges. This time, the scene is in New York, where he faces the prospect of losing his corporate empire in addition to a hefty $250 million civil fraud penalty.
Trump praised a First Department, Appellate Division decision as “very good” after it was decided that he can “hold off on obeying an order to dissolve his Empire State businesses until the courts can consider their status,” According to the Western Journal. According to the publication, the case is being heard by a panel of four judges.

The Messenger reports that Trump’s bid to halt the civil fraud trial has been denied by the appellate court.
After noting the “very good ruling,” Trump proclaimed: “I think the country appreciates it.”
Christopher Kise, his attorney, continued, “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.”
“I think it’s a great thing for the country,” Trump told reporters.
“Trump and his legal team also celebrated the testimony of a defense expert witness, New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov, who said he reviewed Trump’s financial information and found that Trump and his people did nothing wrong,” The Western Journal went on.
“My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud,” Bartov gave a statement. Trump’s financial disclosures “were not materially misstated,” he said.
Attorney General Letitia James’s office attorney dissected Bartov’s testimony, saying it was pure speculation from someone they hired to say what they want.”
However, the witness answered forcefully, stating, “You should be ashamed of yourself, talking to me like that. I’m here to tell the truth,” NBC News reported.

Trump described Bartov as a “highly respected man” to the media.
“I don’t know him, but he’s an expert witness, and he found no fraud whatsoever. He found no accounting fraud whatsoever,” Trump told reporters. “And like everyone else, he said, ‘What are we doing here?’ What are we doing here? This is a political witch hunt.’ This is meant to influence an election. This also comes from the White House. This is not just a state matter because the White House is controlling district attorneys.”
Trump is facing a number of legal obstacles that are intended to keep him from running for government in 2024. There have been claims made in some states citing the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” provision, arguing that Trump’s participation in politics should be prohibited. The former president may not have an easy route to the ballot, even if he has never been charged with or found guilty of anything connected to this claim.
The attempts to prevent Trump from being on the ballot have failed. A recent Michigan court decision rejected a case arguing that Trump was disqualified due to his participation in the Capitol riot on January 6.
Two decisions made by lower courts were upheld by the court. “Who to place on the primary ballot is determined by the political parties and the individual candidates,” The Associated Press reports that the appeals court stated in a 3-0 decision, citing Michigan law.
The three-judge panel stressed that the Judicial Branch does not have the authority to decide who can be included on the state’s presidential ballots. It is significant to note that Trump has not been found guilty or charged with “insurrection.”
“The two-sentence clause in the 14th Amendment has been used only a handful of times since the years after the Civil War. It’s likely that one of the lawsuits challenging Trump eventually will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never ruled on the insurrection clause,” the AP reported.
