The judge in former President Donald Trump's civil fraud case has rejected a request from the defense to delay the enforcement of the penalties in the case.
The defendants had asked Judge Arthur Engoron to delay the enforcement of the penalties by 30 days to allow for an "orderly post-judgment process.".
Trump last week was ordered to pay a $354.8 million fine plus interest and was barred from leading any New York company for three years.
His sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were also fined $4 million apiece and barred for two years.
The defense's request for a delay in the penalties stemmed from a dispute about the case's judgment order, the court document that, at the end of a trial, starts the clock for the penalties in a case.
