‘No victims, no damages, and no financial losses’: Trump spends nearly 5,000 pages asking appeals court for stay in civil fraud case because he simply does not have the cash

A New York City judge handed former President Donald Trump a double whammy loss in two separate orders released Tuesday.

One order deals with a previous ruling aiming to tamp down on the number of pretrial motions that can be filed in the hush money case over alleged book-cooking in relation to the Stormy Daniels sex scandal. Trump’s attorneys wanted that order reversed — and failed.

The second order concerns public access to a would-be trove of documents already filed in the case. Trump’s attorneys pushed to unseal “all pleadings, orders, and substantive written communications that have involved the Court” and failed there as well.

The setbacks mark the second time in two days that legal arguments advanced by the 45th president’s defense attorneys failed to woo New York Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan.
