New York state's attorney general has accused Donald Trump's family business of repeatedly misrepresenting the value of its assets to obtain financial benefits, citing what it said was significant new evidence of possible fraud.
Neither Trump nor his children have been accused of criminal wrongdoing. While James cannot file criminal charges because her probe is civil, she can sue the Trumps and the company.In filings late Tuesday with a New York state court in Manhattan, James described what she called misleading statements about the values of six Trump properties, as well as the "Trump Brand."
Her filing described evidence of misstatements to lenders, insurers and the Internal Revenue Service. James wants a judge to order the Trumps to testify within 21 days. The Trump Organization in a statement said it will defend against James' "baseless" accusations, accusing her of twisting the facts and misleading the public because she faces "the stark reality that she has no case."
Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, in a statement said James' filings did not address her "repeated threats to target the Trump family" and ignore their constitutional rights by conducting overlapping probes.not guilty James said she found evidence that Trump was "personally involved" in approving the statements, and used them "in numerous commercial transactions for his own financial benefit."
