New York Attorney General Letitia James is using a court filing to outline much of the evidence her investigators have gathered so far in her investigation of former President Donald Trump.
At this point, he hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing. New York's attorney general has yet to decide whether she even wants to file a civil lawsuit.New York's attorney general, a Democrat elected in 2018, sued Trump multiple times on behalf of the state over his policies as president. She has also sued the National Rifle Association and was instrumental in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's fall from power.
In one example out of many, the legal filing said the company boosted the estimated value of Trump's Manhattan penthouse by $200 million by saying it was nearly three times its actual size. Trump’s financial statements containing the pumped-up values were then submitted to banks to obtain credit and to comply with terms of existing loans, James’ office said. The attorney general's office said inflated financial statements once helped Trump secure $300 million in loans from Deutsche Bank.
The legal filing said the company also overvalued land donations made in New York and California to justify millions of dollars in tax deductions.Tuesday’s filing was meant to persuade a judge that Donald Trump and two of his children, Don Jr. and Ivanka, should be forced to answer questions under oath.
New York University law professor Stephen Gillers says James also likely feels “she has a duty to tell the public what she is doing and why," given how intensely Trump has criticized the investigation and claimed it is motivated by political hatred.“It’s like when a country displays its guns and tanks in a military parade, meant to warn opponents, ‘Don’t mess with us,’" Gillers said.
