New York Attorney General Sues Trump for Fraud, Seeks $250 Million in Restitution

On Wednesday, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, announced that her office would be filing a civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, his three eldest children, and the Trump Organization, after a wide-ranging three-year investigation.

In a filing that she said comprises 23 "assets," including various New York real estate properties, James claims that the Trump family "violated several state criminal laws, including falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud, and engaging in a conspiracy to commit each of these state law violations." She claims that they "created and used more than 200 false asset valuations over a ten-year period."
