    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The former president’s fraud trial will continue next week after he lost a bid on Friday to halt the proceedings while he fights a pretrial ruling that could strip him of Trump Tower and other prized properties.

    Trump lawyer Christopher Kise said he was pleased the appeals court “upheld New York law and put a halt to any cancellation of business certificates, receivers or dissolution,” The Associated Press reported.

    As the trial was underway, Engoron on Thursday ordered that Trump and other defendants in the case give a court-appointed monitor, retired federal judge Barbara Jones, a list of all entities covered by the ruling.

    Michael McAuliffe, a former federal prosecutor and elected state attorney, told Newsweek that, like much of what Trump does, the lawsuit was "a short-term tactical move designed to delay the start of the civil fraud trial.

    His former lawyer and fixer is now a key witness in a criminal case connected to hush money payments made during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to bury allegations of extramarital sexual encounters.

    ABC News and The New York Times this week reported that Trump had allegedly shared potentially classified information about U.S. submarines with nuclear capability with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt at his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office.
