NEW YORK, Aug 31 — New York’s attorney general on Wednesday asked a state judge to declare, even before the start of a trial, that Donald Trump committed fraud by submitting false statements to bankers and insurers and overstating his net worth by up to US$2.23 billion .
“The cumulative effect of these numerous deceptive schemes to inflate Mr. Trump’s assets, and hence his net worth, is staggering,” and is “just the tip of a much larger iceberg of deception is prepared to expose at trial,” James said. “What she seeks to do here become the post hoc arbiter of the marketplace by interjecting her own judgment into strictly private, profitable transactions,” the defendants’ lawyers said. “The record evidence now undermines fully her purported claims.”James filed her lawsuit last September, accusing Trump of lying about property values, including for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and Trump Tower penthouse apartment in Manhattan, and his own net worth.
Trump, the Republican front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has denied wrongdoing in all of the cases, calling them part of a Democratic witch hunt against him. James is a Democrat.
