Letitia James won a $454 million judgment against Trump, his penalty for a decade of fraud. She and Trump are now fighting over her claims that he withheld evidence from her fraud probe. "The Court is well within its authority to determine if Defendants and their counsel facilitated that perjury by withholding of incriminating documents," James argued in Tuesday night's letter. AdvertisementAt a hearing in April of 2022, he compared getting Trump's documents to "pulling teeth." Out of some 900,000 documents turned over, only ten were "custodial" Trump documents, meaning business files in the former president's direct custody.

The NY attorney general's Trump Org fraud case is huge, the defense says in seeking a trial delay. The heftiness of Attorney General Letitia James' evidence was described by the defense in a recent court filing. The evidence filled four computer hard drives that the attorney general turned over to the defense in December. She is seeking to bar Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump from selling, buying, borrowing against or collecting rent from any property in the state. Trump's legal team has maintained that the attorney general is waging a politically-motivated "witch hunt" against him and his company.
Lawyers for Trump say they can't meet their deadlines in the NY attorney general's fraud lawsuit. There are 16 defendants named in the attorney general's lawsuit, a number that includes Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and a dozen other executives and Trump Organization sub-entities. "The current schedule imposes significant hardship on Defendants," the Trump lawyers argued in a supplemental filing. "The Defendants' claimed hardship is self-inflicted," the attorney general countered in a filing last week, after the Trump lawyers first broached moving deadlines. The judge, too, has yet to rule on the Trump lawyers' request for more time.
Letitia James' $250 million fraud lawsuit against Trump and his business remains on track for an Oct. 2, 2023 trial. In a nine-page decision, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron kept Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit on track for an early October trial. Ivanka Trump claimed she couldn't be held legally liable in the attorney general's lawsuit, but that is not the case, Engoron also wrote. "Once again, Donald Trump's attempts to evade the law have been rejected," James said in a statement. "We look forward to receiving a full and proper review of our arguments on appeal," said Trump attorney Alina Habba.
A Manhattan judge is threatening to sanction Donald Trump's lawyers over 'frivolous litigation'. Justice Arthur Engoron is presiding over the NY attorney general's case against Trump's business. That rejection had come in November, in his denial of Trump's request for a preliminary injunction halting the attorney general's lawsuit. Engoron had asked the attorney general's office and Trump's defense lawyers to respond to his "frivolous litigation" accusation within one day. Engoron's email — subject-lined "POTENTIAL SANCTIONS FOR FRIVOLOUS LITIGATION — did not indicate when he will decide on whether to impose sanctions or detail what those sanctions might be.
Donald Trump was deposed Wednesday by the NY attorney general's office — after promising to plead the Fifth. So what's next for the Trumps, the Trump Organization and James' three-year investigation? The lawsuit will seek steep financial penalties for an alleged decadelong pattern of playing fast and loose with the assessed values of Trump Organization properties. The Trump Organization probe is the third time the former president has been in the AG's crosshairs. Why did the AG insist on a deposition in this current, Trump Organization case?
Trump is the key witness in the New York attorney general's inquiry into the Trump Organization. She was Donald Trump's ex-wife and the mother of Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, as well as Eric Trump. Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump — both of whom have served as Trump Organization executive vice presidents — sat for their depositions in the past week. On Friday, lawyers for the Trump Organization and for Allen Weisselberg, the company's former longtime chief financial officer, are scheduled to appear at a pretrial hearing at the courthouse. A judge has promised to set a trial date for the Trump Organization and Weisselberg to stand trial over accusations that they played roles in a decadelong payroll-tax scheme.
