New York attorney general sues Trump and three adult children, alleging business fraud
New York's attorney general is suing former President Trump and his three adult children, alleging business fraud.
Attorney General Letitia James’s (D) office has been leading a years-long investigation into whether the former president's company misled investors and tax authorities by inflating property values to get investments and subsequently deflating them to get tax and loan benefits.
Trump has dismissed what he called a “phony years-long crusade” against him and criticized James for the inquiry.
When he appeared before the attorney general's office for questioning last month, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer questions.
Two of Trump’s children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., were subpoenaed along with their father and sat for depositions earlier this year.
