Less than two days before the scheduled beginning of a trial over the alleged 2015 assault of protesters near Trump Tower by Trump Organization employees, Justice Dianne Renwick issued a stay in the Appellate Division, First Department.

Renwick stayed the video deposition of President Donald Trump, which was ordered by Bronx Supreme Court Administrative Judge Doris Gonzalez last week. At the request of the protesters’ lawyers, she also stayed the trial itself while the issue of the deposition is resolved.
