New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a $250 million fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump, his company and several others. The civil trial started Monday.
Both sides are expected to rely on testimony by
James won a major victory last week in a pretrial ruling when Judge Arthur Engoron ordered that the former president be stripped of his New York business licenses, the first step in what experts say will probably lead to a sell-off or transfer of those properties barring a successful appeal by Trump.
Trump shook his head in disagreement as Wallace said the defendants falsified the former president’s net worth from 2011 to 2021 by amounts between $812 million and $2.2 billion. At issue now, in a trial expected to last several weeks or months, is how severe the ultimate penalties will be. James has made six claims beyond the one the judge initially ruled on, asking among other things that he and his company pay $250 million in penalties and be barred from doing future business in the state.
Trump skipped a trial this year where a jury found that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and defamed her after she publicly accused him. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. Bender worked for Mazars USA, the accounting firm that handled Trump’s business and personal tax returns until 2022, when the firm announced that it could no longer stand behind the statements and cut ties with Trump. Bender did so much accounting work for the company and its executives that he was in the Trump Tower offices often.
