Judge finds Donald Trump committed fraud in New York civil case. from the Guardian today.
A New York state judge has granted partial summary judgment to the New York attorney general, Letitia James, in the civil case against Donald Trump.
Judge Arthur F Engoron found that Trump committed fraud for years while building his real estate empire, and that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing, AP reports:
Beyond mere bragging about his riches, Trump, his company and key executives repeatedly lied about them on his annual financial statements, reaping rewards such as favorable loan terms and lower insurance premiums, Engoron found.
