Trump accused of vast fraud in suit by

N.Y. attorney general Page 7

NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s attorney general sued former President Donald Trump
and his company for fraud on Wednesday, alleging they padded his net worth by was established this week
billions of dollars by lying about the value of prized assets including golf courses, ho-
tels and his homes at Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago.
Attorney General Letitia James dubbed it: “The art of the steal.”
James’ lawsuit, filed in state court in New York, is the culmination of a three-year civil
investigation of Trump and the Trump Organization. Trump’s three eldest children,
Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump, were also named as defendants, along with two
longtime company executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeffrey McConney.
The lawsuit strikes at the core of what made Trump famous, taking a blacklight to
the image of wealth and opulence he’s embraced throughout his career — first as a
real estate developer, then as a reality TV host on “The Apprentice” and “Celebrity
Apprentice,” and later as president.
James wants Trump and the other defendants to pay at least $250 million, which she
said was the approximate worth of the benefits it got through fraudulent practices.
James, a Democrat, announced details of the lawsuit at a news conference on
Wednesday. She said her office filed the case — which is civil, not criminal in nature
— after rejecting settlement offers made by lawyers for the defendants.
