— Donald Trump New York on Thursday lost his last-ditch attempt to delay his mammoth fraud trial, as New York Attorney General Letitia James informed the court she plans to put him on the witness stand.

A midlevel state appeals court lifted a temporary order pausing the trial scheduled to start next week in the suit accusing Trump, his sons, Eric and Don Jr., and top Trump Organization executives, including his convicted finance chief Allen Weisselberg and controller Jeffrey McConney, of committing rampant fraud in New York’s real estate market.

Trump’s eleventh-hour appeals court bid against James and Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron earlier this month sought to delay the trial’s start. It argued that a previous appeals court ruling getting Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, off the hook for time-barred claims should have also narrowed the case against Trump and his co-defendants. The 1st Department appeals panel didn’t make any determinations on those allegations; it will consider them after more filings due in the coming weeks.

The panel’s Thursday ruling clears the way for the trial to start Monday, barring another appeal from Trump in the interim. He has vowed to fight a stunning ruling issued by Engoron in the case this week finding him and his co-defendants liable for fraud and ordered the axing of all business certificates for entities they own or control in New York. Engoron found Trump’s lies about how much his assets are worth falsely inflated his net worth by up to $2.2 billion during some years leading up to his presidency.

Trump’s lawyer, Chris Kise, did not respond to a New York Daily News inquiry seeking comment.

AG spokeswoman Delaney Kempner, in a statement, said, “We are ready for trial and look forward to presenting the rest of our case.”

Engoron’s Tuesday ruling effectively neutered Trump’s ability to run a company in the state where he grew up and burnished his image as a billionaire businessman after inheriting his father’s real estate empire. The decision covered the top claim of seven James has brought against the Trumps. Engoron will consider the rest when the non-jury trial starts next week.

The decision means he may soon lose control of properties like Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and 40 Wall Street. At a hearing Wednesday, his lawyers said they were still digesting the ruling’s impact.

“You have New York entities that, for example, own ... a house or own a townhouse or something. They’re just, maybe Don Jr. or Eric’s residence,” Kise said in court. “Are those covered?”

The judge declined to get into specifics at the hearing, but he gave Trump’s team more time to work with a court-appointed monitor on a plan to carry out his order.

Trump still has $250 million to lose in the suit, and James wants to permanently bar him and his sons and executives from running a New York business, among other forms of relief. Her lawyers said they had no intention of dropping the rest of the case after Kise asked about the point of going to trial.

In filings late Wednesday, James said she plans to put Trump and his adult kids on the witness stand, along with a host of Trump Organization executives and accountants. On his witness list, the former president included himself, too, and 126 other people.
