Breaking: Trump Sued for Fraud by New York Attorney General 

In the culmination of a yearslong investigation and a series of legal skirmishes, Letitia James accused the former president of systematically misstating the value of his properties. 

The lawsuit accuses the former president of profiting from a ‘staggering’ fraud.

Today, I filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for engaging in years of financial fraud to enrich himself, his family, and the Trump Organization.  There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.

New York is going to get them all.

A 250 million dollar Civil Suit, naming all of the Trumps, their longtime lawyer, the officers of their company and the Trump businesses.

Seeking to recover damages, bar all of them from ever having a non profit again, serving as board members of ANY company in New York ever again. Because they have shown repeatedly that they are not to be trusted, skirt and break the law, and have defrauded people of millions of dollars.

Additionally, the NY AG made specific referrals to both the DOJ and the IRS for criminal, not Civil prosecution.

It's nice to see white collar folks get the book thrown at them for a change, forcing them to defend themselves like regular folks.

Bet they've just scrached the surface of Trump's criminality.

Crime Boss Donald probably is one of the "best" in the business of crime.

Our ex president, tonight on Sean Hannity...

Speaking about the documents he refused to say were declassified in court, under penalty of perjury...

"“There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it... You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.”


When he was pressed further, he insisted he had declassified the documents in question when he left the White House, again without pointing to proof of such.

“In other words, when I left the White House, they [the documents] were declassified,”

This is the idiocy ppl like -FJ and others are forced to defend so as to not look like idiots themselves for supporting Trump. Because... well, Hillary.

And of course, Trump whines he is the victim of that Black woman's "racism". The projection never ends, as he further dupes his cult of white racists to believe THEY are "real victims" of racism.
There's no limit to the mass madness of willfully duped bigots.

On Deadline White House today,
David Cay Johnston who's written several books on Trump said that NY AG Letitia James, in her civil fraud lawsuit, has "Trump nailed to the wall."
