Huntley Trump store’s eviction trial postponed again

The owner of the Trump and Truth Store in Huntley is scheduled to go to trial next month over whether the store can remain at its location in a strip mall along Route 47.

A trial over the store’s potential eviction was scheduled for May 8 but was delayed to June 11to give the store’s owner, Lisa Fleischmann, time to find a pro bono lawyer.

The trial was postponed again last week and now is set for June 25 before McHenry County Judge Suzanne Mangiamele.

Fleischmann has since obtained attorney David Shestokas to represent her in the legal proceedings.

The Trump and Truth Store was cited for several local ordinance violations in December, according to court records, as has its landlord.

The landlord and his attorney, Joe Gottemoller, have said Fleischmann’s lease requires her to comply with village ordinances and said her violations prompted the eviction proceedings.

Fleischmann has said she believes the village is going after her because of the content of the store, a claim village officials have denied.
