Former President Donald Trump asked the judge overseeing the civil fraud case to delay enforcing the $355 million judgment against him for one month.

In a letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, Trump’s attorneys accuse New York Attorney General Letitia James of an “unseemly rush” to enforce the judgment by submitting a proposal for the judge to sign just days after the ruling.

Trump has 30 days from when a judgment is entered to post bond and appeal.

Last week, the judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest and imposed a three-year ban from acting as an officer of a New York business.

    Imagine asking a favor from the judge you’ve spent the last several months calling every name in the book, very publicly and openly, and insulting his staff, doxing and defaming his clerk, and in general acting like a spoiled, whiney brat. Then going, “please, sir, may I have some more… time?”

    I hope the judge tells him to get fucked

      It’s not “get fucked” but close enough:

      Dear Mr. Robert, you have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay. I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights.
