Trump has claimed the lawsuit is part of a 'politically motivated Witch Hunt.'
New York's attorney general says a judge doesn't need to wait until an October trial in her civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump to rule that he committed fraud while building his real estate empire.
Messages seeking comment were left with Trump's lawyers and a spokesperson for his company, the Trump Organization. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in next year's presidential election, has claimed the lawsuit is part of a "politically motivated Witch Hunt" led by James and other Democrats.
To rule, Engoron needs only to answer two questions, James' office argued: whether Trump's annual financial statements were false or misleading, and whether he and the Trump Organization used those statements while conducting business transactions. "At the end of the day this is a documents case, and the documents leave no shred of doubt that Mr. Trump's do not even remotely reflect the 'estimated current value' of his assets as they would trade between well-informed market participants," Amer wrote.
James sued Trump in September 2022, alleging he and his company lied for at least a decade on annual statements of financial interest he provided to banks, insurers and others. The statements padded Trump's net worth by billions of dollars and misled banks, insurers and others about the value of assets like golf courses, hotels and his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, James said.
