Letitia James, who ran on a “Get Trump’ ticket, filed a civil action against President Donald Trump’s Organization that was unsealed in New York.
According to Yahoo News, she wants Trump and his organization found guilty without a trial:
While running his father’s family real estate empire, former President Donald Trump bloated his net worth by a staggering $2 billion, New York Attorney General Letitia James charged in asking a Manhattan judge to rule against the Trumps before their upcoming $250 million civil fraud trial, according to court filings unsealed Wednesday.
James asked State Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron to resolve one of the fraud claims facing the Trumps encompassing a chunk of the case slated for trial Oct. 2 by recognizing a “mountain of undisputed evidence” of rampant fraud.
“No trial is required for the Court to determine that (Trump) presented grossly and materially inflated asset values in (financial filings) and then used those (filings) repeatedly in business transactions to defraud banks and insurers,” the filing said.
She doesn’t even want him to have a trial!
James accuses him of inflating his network by $2 billion to strengthen the Trump Organization’s position in the city’s real estate market.
James has been investigating Donald Trump for years. She couldn’t find anything criminal so she went for civil cases. In addition to the one on October 2, she has one for an alleged pyramid scheme on January 29.
GO DEEPER
Among the alleged wrongdoings, AG James claims Trump overvalued by up to 39 percent assets like his New York skyscrapers, golf courses and residential properties, and his Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida. Doing so, she claims, allowed the Trump brand to deceive banks, lenders, and business partners with “hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten savings and profits.”
[They all have appraisers.]
Despite the Trump Organization laying claim to a real estate empire worth $6.7 billion in 2014, the New York attorney general claims she has hard evidence the combined value did not exceed $4.5 billion.
As part of the unsealed documents, AG James includes public statements by President Trump accusing her of being a racist and saying that the world would have suffered a nuclear attack from North Korea if he had not chosen to forgo his lucrative career and serve the public as president.
In addition to seeking a $250 million judgment against the Trump Organization, AG James hopes to prevent the Trump family from doing commercial real estate deals in New York for the next five years and permanently bar family members from running or helping direct businesses.
Leftist Democrats have called for lawsuits against Donald Trump and his family to bankrupt them. The locales Democrats chose are filled with far-left Democrats.
Now far-left James doesn’t even want the Trumps to have a trial. The Democrats are tearing our Constitution and justice system apart.
The similarities between today’s Commucrat party and Hitler’s Nazi Germany are staggering.
Meanwhile the ENTIRE Biden family lied on their tax returns for years and its totally fine..but in this case, the bank is the one responsible for declaring value on a property heck they are not even complaining at all..I can say my house is worth 5 million dollars, prove me wrong
Imagine a bank Ceo testifying that he lent money based on the customer’s own representations
about his property’s value. “My $250,000 home is worth $2M, Mr. Mortgage Officer. I swear!”
LOL.....good one.

Has anyone checked her records and assets?
You can bet she herself is playing the same game with her own stuff. There is not a corporation or business in this country who does not try to play the system if they can. Been doing it for a hundred years.
If this is true, we are way past a Banana Republic and a into Soviet style dictatorship.
That would definitely be against the Constitution...attempted deprivation of the constitutional right to due process
Wow, I better warn my college kid who just applied for her first credit card and may have inflated some numbers hoping to get a higher limit or lower interest rate. 🤔
What's so stupid about this is that she assumes the banks and insurers and others just accept such filings no questions asked. The banks and insurers have a responsibility and vested interest in analyzing and evaluating any asset valuations presented to them.
They'd be negligent and irresponsible to not do that.
There’s two kind of assessments involved...One is the city...and that’s the actual value of the physical property. Then there’s a second value for the bank...income derived from tenants etc.. They both go to the bank to get a total value...It would be like me and you showing the bank your W-2...they want to get paid back. But still...there are no victims...the bank gets their loan money back plus interest..There are no victims.
Is this Babylon Bee?
See my prior post on this thread. This is way beyond “mortgage applications.” These are complex commercial loans where lenders have a fiduciary duty to scrutinize loan applications closely.
A prosecutor has to convince 12 people.
A defense attorney, only one.......................
I repeat...there is no victim.
She's guessing...and she's gonna have a hell of a time proving that someone got s******.
I dont disagree the banks have a duty. What I’m saying is it’s a crime to lie on those forms.
And determining how much "credit" a borrower has is the responsibility of the lender. The lenders sure don't just accept the asset valuations presented by the borrower.
This half-wit AG is acting as if lenders and insurers just accept asset valuations from customers no questions asked.
Banks, insurers and others failing to do their own due diligence is not a matter of fraud on the part of a borrower or business partner.
That is just standard operating procedure for many AGs and prosecutors. Let’s them have their say to the judge before trial even starts. Almost never granted.
So now it’s criminal to have a differing opinion on the value of some real estate?
Banks have appraisers, if they didn’t do their job that is their fault.
smh
Time to take Letitia back to the zoo.
