Letitia James just gave Donald Trump and his children a lovely Xmas present, and early, too. Lovely for us, that is. The Daily Beast is reporting

New York’s Attorney General is planning to put the Trumps and their family company on trial for business fraud next year, according to a letter the AG’s office submitted in court on Thursday.

In that Thursday court filing, New York AG Letitia James’ office disclosed its intention to fast-track its new $250 million civil lawsuit against the Trump Organization, citing it as a reason why the case should remain in the hands of the New York state judge who is already intimately familiar with the investigation.

“OAG intends to seek an expedited preliminary conference to set a trial date before the end of 2023. Allowing for an expedited trial schedule on an enforcement proceeding after extensive litigation over subpoena enforcement is precisely the circumstance that warrants keeping this case before Justice Engoron in the interests of judicial economy,” wrote assistant attorney general Kevin Wallace, one of the investigators on the case.

Former President Donald Trump and the heirs to his real estate and marketing empire—Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric—engaged in delay tactics that severely slowed down the investigation for years, repeatedly refusing to turn over documents or show up for sworn testimony. Their resistance earned the scorn of Justice Arthur F. Engoron, who often had to intervene and order them to comply.

The Daily Beast goes on to report that the Trumps are making every effort to remove Judge Engoron from the case, and accusing James of taking steps to avoid the assignment of another judge to the case. The defense to that is that Judge Engoron has been with the case and is familiar with the 600 some documents filed so far. That is a good reason to leave a case with a judge, at least in the real world, which does not include Trump world. Trump world is paranoid and believes that everything that happens is due to cronyism and plots, because that’s the way the Trumps operate.

“OAG intends to seek an expedited preliminary conference to set a trial date before the end of 2023. Allowing for an expedited trial schedule on an enforcement proceeding after extensive litigation over subpoena enforcement is precisely the circumstance that warrants keeping this case before Justice Engoron in the interests of judicial economy,” wrote assistant attorney general Kevin Wallace, one of the investigators on the case.

Well, Donald, I sure hope that Melania is making bank selling those Xmas ornaments, because it looks like your legal expenses just went up and your ability to pay them just went down. And how’s that big ticket black tie gala during the holidays working out? Think anybody is going to lay out a bankroll to sit in the library with you privately?

2022 is going to go out with a bang.
