US president Donald Trump was appealing a judgment entered by judge Arthur Engoron in Manhattan, following a three-month non-jury trial. Lawyers for Mr Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The appeals court was splintered. Referring to Mr Trump and other Trump Organization figures, judge Engoron said their “complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological”. The appeals court put these restrictions on hold during the appeals process, while letting a court-appointed monitor for the Trump Organization continue her work.
