Trump, who is \u200dalready under a gag order imposed by Engoron for \u2064online attacks against the \u2062law clerk, is facing\u200d accusations\u200c from New \u2063York Attorney\u200c General Letitia\u2062 James\u2062 of fraudulent inflation of his net worth for financial\u200b gains.<\/p>\n<p>James is \u2063seeking approximately $250\u2064 million in\u2063 damages and aims to \u200bpermanently bar\u200c Trump and his sons from managing a\u2063 New\u200d York business. Engoron, before the trial began, had found \u2063the defendants liable for fraudulently misstating property values.
