NY Attorney General Says Trump Inflated His Wealth by $2.2 Billion

HeadlineAug 31, 2023

New York Attorney General Letitia James said that Donald Trump had inflated his net worth by as much as $2.2 billion in order to secure loans and business deals. James said in a motion to a judge that there was already sufficient evidence Trump and his associates committed financial fraud, and a trial was not necessary. Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers argued the case should be thrown out altogether, because the loans in question are too far in the past to be considered by the court. If the judge does not side with either party, Trump’s New York trial will go ahead as planned in October.
