And while we're on the subject...

The court-appointed monitor overseeing Donald Trump's businesses told a judge on Friday that the former president's financial information has contained "incomplete" or "inconsistent" disclosures containing "errors."

"I have identified certain deficiencies in the financial information that I have reviewed, including disclosures that are either incomplete, present results inconsistently, and/or contain errors," former federal judge Barbara Jones, tasked with scrutinizing the former president's business empire, wrote in a 12-page letter.

That's Judge Engoron, who is clearly not a fan.
Last September, Engoron issued a ruling dissolving Trump's New York business empire for "persistent" fraud.

[...]

"Absent steps to address the items above, my observations suggest misstatements and errors may continue to occur, which could result in incorrect or inaccurate reporting of financial information to third parties," [Jones wrote].

[...]

"In addition, while I am to receive advance notice of restructuring or sales, my appointment does not require or permit advanced approval of the Trump Organization's preparation or submission of financial information to third parties," the letter states. "Thus, I am not in a position to conclude whether fraudulent activity occurred."
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
