in reply to Nonilex • • •The Feb #civil court ruling that #Trump was #liable for business #fraud has largely receded from headlines as the presidential race enters its final stage. But he faces continued scrutiny from #BarbaraJones, a seasoned fmr judge whom the court has granted X-ray vision into the finances of Trump’s business for the next 3 years, through the Nov election & possibly into a 2nd Trump term.

Unknown parent • • •Her report did not go over well at the #TrumpOrganization, which hasn’t previously been subject to such policing of its internal operations. The company’s lawyers fired off a letter to the court comparing her to the obsessive Inspector Javert from “Les Misérables” & demanding her removal. They accused her of intentionally running up an enormous bill cataloguing minor accounting matters. The company must pay for her team’s work…,a tab that ran to $2.6M over the 1st 14 months.
