Court monitor Barbara Jones sent her letter to Justice Engoron, who will determine whether to ban Trump from New York real estate for life

The court-appointed monitor overseeing Donald Trump’s businesses told a judge on Friday that the former president’s financial information has contained “incomplete” or “inconsistent” disclosures containing “errors.”

“I have identified certain deficiencies in the financial information that I have reviewed, including disclosures that are either incomplete, present results inconsistently, and/or contain errors,” former federal judge Barbara Jones, tasked with scrutinizing the former president’s business empire, wrote in a 12-page letter.

Though she described Trump and his businesses as “cooperative” with her investigation, Jones added that “information required to be submitted to me pursuant to the terms of the monitorship order and review protocol has, at times, been lacking in completeness and timeliness.”

    When you’re a kid, your education is the responsibility of the adults around you. When you’re an adult with a little box in your hand that can tell you almost everything humans know, your education is your responsibility.

    Court monitors aren’t a secret, maybe just something you hadn’t learned about yet. There is SO much information, you can’t know it all and almost everybody won’t remember a bunch of info they’ve been exposed to.

    We are all ignorant of most of the information humans have gathered, but you can change your level of ignorance on most any topic anytime you’d like. That’s the best part of right now, if you ask me.

      Courts in general have A LOT of procedures that are not taught about in school. Hell I took a business law class in college and I know more about how they operate by a divorce. There are many little nuances that aren’t in TV court cases or that are specialized to finances or probate or many other law categories.
