It also named the Trump Organization, the former president&#8217;s son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump as defendants.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation by Attorney General Letitia James has focused on whether the Trump Organization misstated the values of its real estate properties to obtain favorable loans and tax benefits.<\/p>\n<p>James was expected to make an announcement at 11:30 a.m. EDT (1530 GMT). She has said that the investigation uncovered &#8220;significant evidence&#8221; that Trump and the company fraudulently valued many of its assets.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican former president has denied any wrongdoing and described James&#8217; probe as a politically motivated witch hunt. James is a Democrat. The Trump Organization has called James&#8217; allegations &#8220;baseless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday&#8217;s lawsuit followed a contentious investigation in which James accused Trump, his company and some family members of using delay tactics to ignore subpoenas and avoid testifying.<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Aug. 10 declined to answer questions in a lengthy, closed-door deposition at the office of the attorney general, invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination more than 400 times.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump agreed to sit for depositions only after court decisions required it.<\/p>\n<p>Another of Trump\u2018s children, Eric Trump, invoked the right against self-incrimination more than 500 times in a 2020 deposition.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit marks one of the biggest legal blows for Trump since he left office in January 2021. Trump is considering running again for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI conducted a court-approved search of Trump\u2018s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Aug. 8 as part of a criminal investigation into his handling of presidential records including classified material.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also faces a criminal investigation in Georgia over his efforts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK (Reuters)\u2014Donald Trump and his adult children were sued for fraud on Wednesday by New York state&#8217;s attorney general, who for more than three years has conducted a civil investigation into the former U.S. president&#8217;s business practices, court records showed.<br \/>\nThe post New York Attorney General Sues Trump, Adult Children for Fraud appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1651170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1651170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1651170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1651170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1651170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1651170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1651170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
