Alleging a widespread effort to manipulate property valuations by former President Donald Trump, three of his children, and their eponymous company, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday her office is suing them, seeking $250 million and an end to their operations in the state.
"Claiming that you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal, it's the art of the steal," James said. She added that the investigation involved interviews with more than 65 witnesses. "It is abundantly clear that the Attorney General's Office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolutely no wrongdoing has taken place," Habba said."We are confident that our judicial system will not stand for this unchecked abuse of authority, and we look forward to defending our client against each and every one of the Attorney General's meritless claims.
It grew into a sweeping probe of dozens of Trump properties and years of Trump Organization finances. Investigators for James' office examined more than a million pages of documents, according to and issued subpoenas to dozens of current and former executives working for the Trump Organization and other companies with relationships to it. Ultimately, in August, Trump and two of his children — Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. — sat for depositions after a nearly yearlong fight.
The proceedings made public developments that might otherwise have remained confidential, such as a letter sent to the company in February by its longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, cutting ties with the Trump Organization and saying a decade's worth of its financial statements"should no longer be relied upon."
The company repeatedly tried to halt the investigation and shield the Trumps from depositions but they were rebuffed each time by New York courts that ruled the investigation and its subpoenas were legal.
Lawyers and their ham sandwich.
Wow… officially I can say the Zionist wing has crumbled in the USA as it does in Russia where currently Putin is crushing them. The other branches in China and the Gulf are expected to be crushed too - via coup or liquidation. Sleepy joe is not sleepy after all 🤣😂🤣
The NY AG little late on this? We knew this about already. Find a new career that you are good at.
Another political hit job. Better if she focus on NY crime web!
MichaelCohen212 have already exposed this even before pandemic. It is about time for Trump to be charged criminally. Civil case is a big joke. Stealing is a CRIME. George Floyd was killed for stealing $20 while Trump who has stolen more than that can freely walk and campaign.
😂😂😂😂. She needs to be disbarred!

Trump's lawyers are right.. it is political but it's happening right now because of Trump. A smart business man with such a sleazy record would have kept his head down but Trump pushed it beyond the limits.
Another example why diversity hires are a menace.
This is because they turned his chief tax accountant.
Will we have this day for the US Gov? Trump has escaped the 2 impeachments by Republican Congressmen. Wait for the JD to prosecute T to expose his corruptions, violations of the laws & constitution & abuse of power, then prosecute GOP covering up for T!
OMG
This isn’t going to stick 🙄
