    HOW WAS THIS NOT ALREADY THE CASE?

    Judge Jones was already assigned as a court-mandated financial monitor for the trial and the next three years.

    This financial monitor up until today WAS NOT included in communication or documentation, of the company she financially monitors due to their previous history of financial misrepresentations when obtaining financing, as it attempts to obtain financing?!

    America is stupid. Honestly.

      This order is to inform the monitor before even attempting to obtain a bond. I’m no expert on the law, but I think the monitor is there to watch and keep a record of the Trump Org’s actions, and not to pre-approve actions the Trump Org takes. In that vein, this order would be a departure from typical oversight, requiring a level of notice before even taking an action. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

      Either way, I think it’s great to have eyes on this, and I imagine this is a direct result of Trump’s attorneys providing zero (0) evidence they’ve made any attempt to secure a bond
