Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Judge Arthur Engoron issued an order on Thursday requiring former President Donald Trump to disclose ahead of time any transfer of assets or creation of any entities.

The order was released as the former president's fraud trial in New York enters its fourth day, and places Trump, along with the other defendants in the case, under the scrutiny of an independent monitor appointed by Engoron.

The independent monitor appointed in the order is former Judge Barbara Jones, and it mandates that the defendants provide her a "list of all entity defendants and any other entities controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney."

"I was gonna move this before the order, so I still can."

This isn't mine. It's... John Barrons

Ordered on trial day 4, we can see where this is going.

For (6) at the bottom, since he has to disclose third party co-owners, equity partners and lenders for all their businesses, it could expose his lack of ownership of Trump Organization.

So… that’s fun!

I think that's actually spelled out more clearly in the third "ORDERED" on this page.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Anyone know the Over/Under on Melania fleeing to Mother Russia with 90% of Trumps assets?

Which at this point has to be a buck seventy-five in loose change.

[–] Chunk@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

She's Slovenian which is a NATO ally.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If only someone would leak the post-nup she just renegotiated again.

[–] Chunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would remittance the fuck out of that money. She's got family in Slovenia. Idk what kind of person she is but I'd build out a business empire or something.

If it wasn't for the war maybe but right now it's incredibly hard to move funds into RU or out.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

wouldn't he have already moved all this stuff before the trial?

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The problem is that he has decades of his and his family’s businesses being founded and run in New York. It’s only over the past couple years that he’s trying to get out. For a competent person this would be a long and difficult task taking years. If you’re an idiot who can’t get a lawyer, you’re screwed.

Judge is probably more trying to keep him from moving cash and valuable objects or making bank transfers. In the meantime, all his businesses and properties will be sold off

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

If he were smart

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know if he's humble enough to think that he might have needed to.
