A new $250 million civil fraud lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against former President Donald Trump and three of his adult children will not lead to jail time.
The 214-page lawsuit seeks the repayment of the money from alleged fraudulent practices and to remove all of the Trumps—including children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka—from their current roles at the Trump Organization. It would also ban them from future leadership roles in New York.
James is also seeking to permanently bar the four Trumps from serving as officers or directors in any New York corporation or similar business entity registered and/or licensed in New York state, and to bar the former president and the Trump Organization from entering into any New York real estate acquisitions for five years.
