NY Attorney General Alleges ‘Significant Evidence’ of Trump Business Fraud

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1945: Franklin D. Roosevelt sworn-in for an unprecedented (and never to be repeated) 4th term as US President

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a motion to compel former President Donald Trump and two of his children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, to appear for sworn testimony, alleging that her office’s civil investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings uncovered “significant evidence” of fraud.

“We have uncovered significant evidence indicating that the Trump Organization used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations on multiple properties to obtain economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions for years,” James tweeted.

James’ request comes as a response to the former president’s lawyers filing a motion on Monday for a preliminary injunction against her, alleging “unconstitutional” abuse of process. Trump has said the investigation is a “politically motivated attack.”

While James “has not yet reached a final decision regarding whether this evidence merits legal action, the grounds for pursuing the investigation are self-evident,” the attorney general’s office said in a statement.

Donald Trump Jr. responded to the attorney general’s motion on Twitter.

“America’s most corrupt AG won’t even directly respond to our motions about her political targeting of my family because she knows her actions are indefensible,” he wrote. “This is nothing more than political retribution from her on behalf of the entire Dem Party.”

“She should be disbarred,” Trump Jr. added.
