The New York Attorney General's office has accused the Trump Organization of failing to produce evidence in the ongoing $250 million fraud trial against Donald Trump and his company. The accusation comes after a report alleged that a key witness, former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, lied under oath. The AG's office has suggested an independent monitor conduct a forensic review of electronic data held by the Trump Organization to determine if responsive information was withheld. The trial, which accuses Trump and his sons of misstating property values for tax advantages and better loan terms, could be impacted by the alleged failure to produce evidence.

The fraud trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, may be delayed as his lawyers argue that he needs more time to review millions of pages of evidence. Bankman-Fried, who has pleaded not guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges, was jailed in August after being accused of tampering with witnesses. The judge is considering a five-month delay and suggested combining the trial with another scheduled trial in March 2024. Bankman-Fried's lawyers claim he is not being given enough time to prepare for trial, while the prosecution argues that they have acted in good faith.
