More Troubles For US Ex-president As New York Attorney General Sues Donald Trump, Son, Daughter For Fraud (DETAILS)
Former US President Donald Trump and his adult children were sued for “numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation” on Wednesday by New York state’s attorney general in a civil investigation into his president’s business practices, court records showed.
According to Reuters, the lawsuit, filed in a New York state court in Manhattan, accused the Trump Organization of wrongdoing in preparing Trump’s annual statements of financial condition from 2011 to 2021. It also named the Trump Organization, the former president’s son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump as defendants.
Attorney General Letitia James said Trump and the Trump Organization misstated the values of its real estate properties to obtain favourable loans and tax benefits. She said she was referring allegations of criminal wrongdoing to federal prosecutors in Manhattan and the Internal Revenue Service.
“With the help of his children and senior executives at the Trump Organization, Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and cheat the system,” James said in a statement.
The lawsuit marks one of the biggest legal blows for Trump since he left office in January 2021. Trump is considering running again for president in 2024.
James told reporters she is seeking to have the defendants give up all the benefits he obtained from fraud, estimated at $250 million. The lawsuit also seeks to bar Trump and his children from running companies in New York, and to bar the Trump Organization from engaging in real estate transactions James has been conducting a civil investigation into Trump’s business practices for more than three years.
The Republican former president has denied any wrongdoing and described James’ probe as a politically motivated witch hunt. James is a Democrat. The Trump Organization has called James’ allegations “baseless.”
Wednesday’s lawsuit followed a contentious investigation in which James accused Trump, his company and some family members of using delay tactics to ignore subpoenas and avoid testifying.

Trump on August 10 declined to answer questions in a lengthy, closed-door deposition at the office of the attorney general, invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump agreed to sit for depositions only after court decisions required it.
Another of Trump’s children, Eric Trump, invoked the right against self-incrimination more than 500 times in a 2020 deposition.
Trump has been beset with legal troubles since leaving the White House.
The FBI conducted a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Aug. 8 as part of a criminal investigation into his handling of presidential records including classified material.
Trump also faces a criminal investigation in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
He has denied wrongdoing in the various probes.
James’ civil probe is separate from a criminal tax fraud probe against the Trump Organization by Manhattan’s district attorney, Alvin Bragg.
The company is scheduled to stand trial in October, accused of paying off-the-books benefits to employees. Its former longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, has pleaded guilty and will testify against the company.
James is assisting Bragg in his criminal probe.

PRESIDENT TRUMP REMAINS UNDAUNTE UNFAZED STANDING SOLID STILL, WHILST HIS ADVERSARIES ARE ALWAYS SCRAMBLING ON HOW TO GET AND WITH WHICHEVER MORIBUND STEPS.
He is always ahead of the evil liberal left who has persistently vilified torment and harass him over nothing just for beating them in their game to make the 45th president of the USA.
THEY OPPOSITION, THE EVIL UNDEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS NO SOLUTION OR ANSWER TO THE TRUMP PHENOMENON. THE MAGA MOVEMENT.
All arrows fashioned against him have failed to make their targets. Nothing done against him worked. No result and or successful outcome of their efforts to undo him and stop him. They have consistently fallen short of anything to diminish demean and or derail the TRUMP train.
ALL UNTOWARD INTENTION TOWARDS PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL CONTINUE TO Lule.
After a woeful awful attempt at criminal trial. Trump rejected an out of court settlement and because he could not be reined in on that. The POLTICAL HATEFUL AG of NY resorted to civil trial.
WHY NOT PURSUE THE CRIMINAL END IF THEY HAD HIM UNDER WRAP WITH A TIGHTWATER CASE? IF THEY WERE COCK SURE OF THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.
One man and his family subjected to INHUMAN MALICIOUS TREATMENT for political purposes, and he has beaten them all the way and still would till he runs them over the cliff.
