A Trump-appointed judge shielded President Donald Trump's business finances Wednesday, blocking a court order that had threatened to expose records from more than 400 companies. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman granted the emergency stay in Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Altman said the amendment could make the entire disclosure order moot, according to the ruling. U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett ruled last month that those allegations put Trump's finances squarely at issue in the case. "All of President Trump's brand, properties and businesses are impugned or said to have been impugned," Lett said, according to the order.
