Judge appoints independent monitor to oversee Trump Organization's financial transactions

TL;DR

A New York state judge on Thursday ordered an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization's financial statements after it was alleged that the company has been vastly overstating its assets.State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron signed off on a preliminary injunction that also blocks former President Donald Trump's company from transferring assets without court approval."Today’s ridiculous ruling by a politically-motivated, hand-picked judge makes it even more vital for courts in both New York and Florida to do the right thing and stop this inquisition," Trump said.Trump's attorneys have been trying to get the case transferred away from Engoron in New York, and the Florida mention was a reference to a highly unusual suit Trump filed against James in his new home state Wednesday night.The suit seeks a court order blocking James from getting financial information involving Trump's trust in Florida, which the attorney general's office has noted holds the entities comprising the Trump Organization."
