Trump’s civil fraud trial to resume after he lost bid to postpone

Former President Trump’s civil fraud trial will continue this week after he lost a bid to postpone it.  Trump wanted to halt the trial while he fights a pretrial ruling that could strip him of control of such assets as Trump Tower. An appeals judge rebuffed the request for a pause, but agreed that control over the holdings will stay as-is for now. The trial will resume on Tuesday with the former president’s longtime finance chief on the witness stand. Trump has denied wrongdoing, arguing that some of his assets are worth far more than what’s listed on the statements.
