Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social early Tuesday that he will be back in a Manhattan courthouse Tuesday for the second day of the $250 million civil fraud trial brought against him by the New York Attorney General’s Office.
“I’d love to be campaigning instead of doing this,” he had said Monday when proceedings finished for the day, insisting he “built a great company.”
Outside the courtroom Monday, Trump reiterated claims he made earlier in the day that the charges against him amount to election interference in the 2024 presidential race.
The fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump, sons Eric and Don Jr., and the Trump Organization of a decades-long scheme, over-inflating the values of his many properties.

The fact that 80% was thrown out by the judge tells us that Lettecia wasn’t doing her job....
she failed to recognize the statues of limitations, so obsessed is she to nail The Donald.
She should be disbarred for that.
Meanwhile, common criminal, dopehead, and whormonger,
Hunter Biden, is hiding beneath daddy’s beach chair.
I doubt 80% is thrown out. They’ll find a way
The house my folks moved into in Santa Ana in 1957 when I was 2 was purchased for $25k, is now worth over 1m. I went by it a few years ago and it looked unkept.
Always fun to look up on the web to see how much the Brady house goes for now.

Yes. He’s 93 and still lives in it. Alone.
Me and my remaining sisters are trying to keep him there, because that’s what he wants. His entire estate (not just the house, but bonds, stocks and savings) is large. He hired an aid to stay with him daily. I tell him to spend as much as he needs to continue.
Bless you and your family.
P.S. And, I'm glad the fish didn't get away.
Donald Bender says he didn’t receive needed docs from Trump. Did he submit the docs he had to appraisers, and did they determine they had enough to appraise the property?
Yeah, apparently, work-arounds were just dandy until somebody turned up the heat.
The value of a property is largely conjecture. The banks were satisfied, they got their money back.
Fraud without a victim? Why is this even a trial? How do you prove intent without damages?
Serious attempts at discussion of the charges and scant and fragile "evidence" is not worth the time.
I wonder if Leticia demanded damages for “pain and suffering” because Dems go nuts when they see the name “Trump.”
It is a bad law. It is the State giving itself powers in a civil context which citizens do not have in a civil context. This means the State gave itself an unfair advantage to the detriment of its citizens. Violates (on its face and as applied) the 14th amendment of the US Constitution and the Due Process clause of the 5th Amendment.
If he overinflated the value of his properties and paid taxes on it, sounds like the government owes him a bunch of money.
Sounds like a law that could easily be used for political purposes, especially with morons like Engoron and James in charge. But it's not by any means the only bad law on the books.
“It is a bad law. It is the State giving itself powers in a civil context which citizens do not have in a civil context.

Sorry, but I can’t see that. The state and federal governments have lots of powers that private citizens don’t have. Governments can award custody of a child (state) or issue a pilot’s license (federal).
Any particular law can be good or bad. Maybe you shouldn’t need a license to go fishing. But those laws aren’t unconstitutional.
You write that the New York law “absolutely violates Due Process, because it does not require the State to prove the underlying alleged repeated or persistent fraud or illegality as a predicate for the AG to sue under the Statute.”
Proving a claim isn’t a PREDICATE for suing. The AG brings the suit to assert the claims, the defendant denies them, and the case is tried to determine whether the State has proved its allegations. If the State can’t prove the fraud or illegality, then the defendant will win. That’s normal procedure, not a violation of the Due Process Clause.
If the judge is Lavrentiy Beria, the evidence does not matter.
The case law you cited says "We have already held that the failure to allege losses does not require dismissal of a claim for disgorgement under Executive Law § 63(12)" (see People v Ernst & Young LLP, 114 AD3d 569, 569-570 [1st Dept 2014])." Therefore, the NY courts have dispensed with the element of damages when a cause of action under Executive Law sec.63(12)is being pled and tried by the State. In essence, the State does not have to show that the civil cause of action for fraud satisfies all of the elements required for a civil action for fraud. Damages is an essential element of a cause of action for fraud. Due process is violated because the State has established a rule of civil procedure that is only available to them, and is different than those that apply to the general public. The general public absolutely has to plead and show that they were damaged by the alleged fraud.
