As president, Donald Trump found a million ways to skirt laws and demand special treatment while committing crimes that would put the rest of us in prison. As a private citizen, he’s finding that isn’t so easy, particularly considering the large number of investigations into his every corrupt move.
Donald Trump lost a bid to delay the appointment of a watchdog at his real estate company, which is facing a civil fraud lawsuit by New York attorney general Letitia James.https://t.co/dYEnbGF8o1

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is in charge of a $250 million civil lawsuit against the Trump Organization for alleged tax, bank, and mail fraud, requested that a watchdog be put in place to ensure the company commits no more crimes as the process of an investigation and trial plays out. Trump and his legal team insisted that the watchdog be delayed, and delays are a prime and well-known strategy for Trump over the years as he navigated numerous lawsuits against a company that appears to be rife with fraud and abuses.
Trump’s demands for a delay fell on deaf ears, as the judge refused to allow the twice-impeached ex-president to use his favorite legal move once again.
Reuters reports that:
‘[James] asked in October for a monitor to be installed before the case goes to trial to halt ongoing fraud at the company. That came after Trump’s company created a new entity, “Trump Organization II LLC,” that she viewed as a possible attempt to offload assets out of her reach.
Twitter had little sympathy for the beleaguered ex-president and his legal woes. Read some of their comments below:
