Court refuses to unseal documents regarding undocumented workers at Trump site
You would think the public’s right to know would have the court act differently.
Click here for reuse options!A judge denied a request to unseal case documents which are believed to contain the details of a secret settlement agreement in a lawsuit alleging Trump hired “off the books” Polish workers to demolish a building to make way for Trump Tower…
Judge [Thomas] Greisa said that Time “failed to provide specific facts that establish extraordinary circumstances or a compelling need to unseal the documents. Nor have the moments argued that the sealing was improvidently granted in the first instance.” He denied the motion.
At the time, Trump said any violations of the agreement were the fault of an” inept demolition contractor.” He’s also denied knowing that the Polish workers were undocumented. While four documents (including most likely the settlement agreement) remain under seal, Massimo Calabresi from Time Magazine was able to find thousands of pages of documents that were still sitting in a federal warehouse in Missouri. By digging through the records, Calabresi discovered that Trump may have, in fact, known more than he’s let on.

We will have to try to contain our shock.

I would think “extraordinary circumstances” would certainly apply; he’s running for President of the United States for heaven’s sake!

if this were Hillary, the GOPissers would be all over this and crying for another 7 mil dollar investigation. this is such bullsh!t. and this judge’s ruling is way off. we sane Americans know he has no credibility, and this is just another way of proving it. but alas, we have an ass for a judge.

Greisa. Is that another of Trumps crime family connections?

Makes no real difference; the use of undocumented Polish scab labor tearing down the Bonwit Building is pretty well documented and hardly a secret. I still want facts to be submitted to a candid world about Trump’s ties to the Five Families…
