Loans from lenders. Trumps legal team has responded to the ruilng. The deicision comes ahead of the start of a civil trial against mr trump that begins on monday. Earlier, i spoke with bbc correspondent peter bowes about the ruling. Tell us what the judge said if this ruling. The judge essentially agreed with the Attorney General in new york that has brought this civil case against the former president. Its been a long running investigation into the Business Affairs of mrtrump, his organisation and members of his family. The allegation was that, as the judge has now agreed, the former president acted fraudulently in exaggerating his assets, the value of his golf courses, his apartments, including exaggerating the size of his own apartment in the Trump Building in new york. The reason was to get preferential treatment for loans to impress insurers, to impress banks, to further the cause of his business in the Property Sphere in new york. The net result of this, at this stage, and this matter isnt completely over as you indicated, because we have the trial starting next week, but the initial impact is some of the companys licences to operate in new york have been rescinded. Thats going to make it much more difficult for the Trump Organisation to operate in the short term, but there could be further consequences when other aspects of the lawsuit are heard during the trial that gets under way in a few days. This is being seen as a victory for Attorney GeneralLetitia James in her civil lawsuit against trump on fraud. What impact does this ruling have . Its potentially very beneficial to Letitia James, because it takes off the table a significant part of this lawsuit. That she will be seeking to win at the trial. Essentially, thejudge has sided with her so far on these very significant claims against the former president. So there is a narrower window in terms of the burden of proof that the Attorney General has to show in court. In theory, that could make it easier for her to eventually be successful in the overall lawsuit, which she is asking for very significant financial penalties against donald trump and his organisation, essentially she wants to ban him from ever doing business in new york again. Right now, house lawmakers are voting on advancing Spending Measures to avoid a partial Government Shutdown sunday. But, a small group of hard right conservatives wont strike a deal with Republican House speaker Kevin Mccarthy unless he agrees to budget cuts something that would still need us president joe biden� s support. I never give up. So the deadline might not yet and we are working, we will work late into the night. Mr mccarthy says hell try to tee up a Stop Gap Spending Bill for friday. If Congress Fails to secure funding by october 1st, Hundreds Of Thousands Offederal employees will be furloughed without pay, and Government Services will be disrupted. Earlier, i spoke with tennessee congressman tim burchett, one of the republican holdouts. Thanks forjoining us. You have said you will not support a short term funding bill. The speaker of the house Kevin Mccarthy is pushing for cuts to ensure he can get some more conservative votes on board. Your colleague in Congress Gary graves told reporters at the weekend that the house Leadership Plans to cut spending on discretionary programmes by 27 . I see you shaking your head, is that enough to win your vote . No, maam. My colleague you mention there, he has a self appointed role. I dont know that he speaks for anybody really, other than himself. The truth is, maam, a continued resolution isjust a complete capitulation of our duties. As congressmen, we are required to do one thing, and thats pass a budget. Continued resolution is not that. They tell us we need to pass this resolution to give us time to work so we cannot pass any more continued resolutions. We have been doing this for almost 30 years, maam, they pass a continued resolution, then they pass another, and then they push us up against the christmas break, and then they pass whats called an omnibus. They put all these little nice cherries on top to get us to vote for it, and what does it have in it . You look at an omnibus bill, 2000 pages, pelosi saying we got to pass it so we know whats in it, that is exactly what these big bills are. The powerful leadership, both parties, they put their little projects in there, and what does this little lowly congressman do, read a 2000 Page Document to about a fifth or sixth page and we say, that is enough for my folks back home, im good with it. Then you have 1998 other pages full of goodies. If i could jump in, does that mean you are indeed preparing for a shutdown . Im not going to vote for a continued resolution, we have had since september. I mean, weve had since january. September 30, it comes about this time every year, and we know its coming, yet here we are, we went home the entire month of august. We should have been in washington working. I work at home more than i do up here, this isnt work up here. These groups here, they will start their meetings at 10 30am, caterfor lunch, take a couple of hours off in the afternoon, then end at liz30pm and walk out with their Brooks Brothers jacket over their shoulder and their sleeves rolled up and their collars undone, talking about how hard they worked. People in East Tennessee literally dig ditches for a living. People that work with their hands. Farmers. We have got lawyers, doctors, single mums that work two jobs because they have a deadbeat. You are talking about hard work, what is your message to military personnel, air traffic controllers, other federal workers who will not get paid if there is a shutdown . The federal government can make their choices of where they want to cut. And where they cut is where it hurts the most, shame on them for doing that. And they will all receive their back pay, nobody will miss anything. The myth that our military will lose their houses, that is not the truth. There are laws that prevent that. This is just an attempt to scare them. Weve had over 20 shutdowns in the last bit of history in our country. They average around three orfour days, i think. They happen, its unfortunate, but we take in 5 trillion a year, and these folks that are mad at me, they want to spend 7 trillion a year. Thats the bottom line. We cannot continue. I have to ask, because the deficit grew every year under the trump presidency, his administration set the record. And i voted against his budgets as well. Check your history on that. So why do you think the buck stops here on spending . Because now there are a lot more people that realise we are running off a cliff, and we cannot afford to spend 7 trillion a year when we take in 5 trillion. We spoke to one of your colleagues, republican congressman in nebraska, he supports working with democrats to get a budget bill pass. The conservative team has been undermined. Americans like conservative values, we also like governance and effectiveness. A lot of americans are seeing today dysfunction. Its not happening because republicans versus democrats, its because we have a smaller number of republicans who dont want to co operate. What is your response . Don is a good man, he served our country and hes a friend of mine, but again, you cant spend 7 trillion when you only take in 5 trillion, and that is conservatism, to me. Fiscally strong and morally upright. This administration is neither. The republicans need to stand up to it. We cannot continue down this path of deficit spending, in no shape, form orfashion. The 50 states pass a budget, they might not follow budget as well as they should but they pass a budget. A church, a synagogue, a temple, i guarantee they all have a budget. Any business, the us congress, the United States of america, it hasnt had a budget in 30 years. We have a Budget Committee out of texas, they can balance our budget in ten years. If we just went back to pre covid spending levels, and i dare say not Many Americans can name one thing they have got extra that they could not do without now. They can talk about everything but they cant talk about the numbers, and the numbers dont lie. We take in 5 trillion, we are spending 7 trillion. That will bankrupt this country, and further, like we used to see before world war ii in europe, people going down the street with a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread. That is where we are heading. Congressman, thank you so much for sharing your perspective with us today. Senate leaders have reached their own deal to avert a shutdown, with a short term funding extension. Its not clear, though, whether it could pass the house. In michigan, tuesday, President Bidenjoined striking autoworkers on the picket lines. Mr biden is believed to be the first sitting president to do so. He has long championed unions. Michigan is a key Campaign Battleground state. Former President Trump will be visiting the picket lines on wednesday. In a speech to autoworkers earlier, mr biden encouraged them not to give up their fight. You made a lot of sacrifices, you given up a lot when companies were in trouble. Now the companies are doing incredibly well and, guess what, you should be doing incredibly well too. You deserve the significant raise you need, and other benefits.

It represents over 15 years, half a generation of a workforce that was gutted when the bankruptcy and the bailouts happened here. The public has to remember, this has been the message consistently, we save the company. They came to us asking for concessions. Half pay, 14 per hour when i started in 2010, it took nearly 13 years for me to be made whole just on the wages. Typical of what the uaw fought for and the workers fought and bled and died for, pensions and health care, it is no longer a thing. If you were hired during the bankruptcy or after, you no longer have that pathway to retirement, it doesnt exist, and thats what created the working automotive jobs and the middle class.
