The New York civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump and his company is back on track to start Monday after a state appeals court lifted a temporary stay of the case.
The order Thursday came hours after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she plans to call Trump and three of his adult children as witnesses in the case.
Trump, the Trump Organization and his two adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are accused by James of misstating the values of multiple real estate assets.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron on Tuesday found the defendants liable for fraudulently inflating those properties and other assets.
The trial will address six other claims made by James in her lawsuit, which seeks around $250 million.
Trump in mid-September had filed a lawsuit to the appellate division of the Manhattan Supreme Court against James and Engoron, who will be presiding over the trial.
