Trump Organization's Financial Oversight
A New York state judge has barred Donald Trump and his sons from running the Trump Organization, placing it under the oversight of a court-appointed monitor, Barbara Jones. This decision comes after civil fraud charges were brought against Trump and his family for misstating property values. Jones will now have control over the company's financial decisions, including loan applications to banks.
