The court-appointed monitor of the Trump Organization quietly updated Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial judge last Tuesday on the results of the last 19 months, writing that an external auditor which previously found “significant deficiencies” in the company’s “internal controls” surrounding financial statements is painting a rosier picture now — and the monitor is inclined to agree.

Along with the massive civil fraud judgment that came down in February, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron decided that Barbara Jones, a retired judge who served as a special master in Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani’s attorney-client privilege reviews, would continue on in her role as court-appointed monitor of Trump business activities for at least three years to “ensure compliance with financial reporting obligations and to establish internal written accounting and financial reporting protocols.”
