☆ Trump's 'gobbledygook' math has lowballed, for a decade, how many fish he kills to cool his Chicago tower: AG
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +14 min

Trump Tower uses millions of gallons of Chicago River water a day to heat and cool its 98 floors. Illinois Attorney General's Office/InsiderThe Illinois EPA responded to the apparent discrepancy by issuing Trump Tower a violation notice on August 31. The two groups are parties to the state's ongoing, 2018 environmental lawsuit against the tower, Trump's tallest building worldwide. Trump Organization lawyers have resisted changing how Trump's Chicago tower heats and cools. Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago has used "gobbledygook" math to lowball its impact on the Chicago River, state officials and environmentalists say in court papers.

[1/2] Former U.S. President Donald Trump departs from Trump Tower to give a deposition to New York Attorney General Letitia James who sued Trump and his Trump Organization, in New York City, U.S., April 13, 2023. James has accused Trump of repeatedly lying in financial statements to obtain better terms on loans and insurance. Last week, Trump accused James of ignoring the decision and Engoron of refusing to implement it, and said the trial should be delayed. She said even a brief delay "would likely wreak havoc" on the trial and other trials that Trump faces. James' lawsuit seeks to bar Trump and his adult sons Donald Jr. And Eric from running businesses in New York.

The lawsuit against the IRS is only the latest in a series of counterpunches by the president's son. Now, Hunter Biden could be heading to trial in the midst of his father’s reelection effort. Hunter Biden, according to his memoir, tumbled into drug addiction after the death of his older brother, Beau, in 2015. Earlier this year Hunter Biden hired high-profile attorney Abbe Lowell, a legal heavyweight known for also representing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. “And it is not even touching on the issue of whether people think that he is being prosecuted because he’s Hunter Biden," she said.

But evidence that the president was himself involved in Hunter’s schemes or shared in any of the profits is thus far lacking, as is any evidence that the president violated the law. There is no evidence remotely comparable to the evidence that spurred inquiries against Clinton or Trump. They’d note that Joe Biden falsely denied that Hunter had business dealings in China. The deep concern that Joe Biden might have profited from his position sounds almost comical after the G.O.P. has spent years trying to divert Americans’ attention from the blatant way that the Trump administration steered federal dollars into Trump properties during his presidency.

☆ Trump exaggerated his net worth by as much as $3.6 billion a year, New York's Letitia James now alleges
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

More than 100 motions, exhibits were filed Friday in NY's civil business-fraud case against Trump and his company. Attorney General Letitia James is now alleging Trump's net-worth exaggerations topped $3.6 billion a year. And that $3.6 billion overstatement "is still a conservative estimate of the extent of the inflation," lawyers for Attorney General Letitia James claim in the filing. That figure exceeds — by a long stretch — the $2.2 billion that James' office used just last week as an example of how much Trump could exaggerate the value of his empire in annual statements of net worth. The New York attorney general alleges that Donald Trump and senior Trump Organization management inflated his net worth in annual financial filings by $3.6 billion a year.

One of those cases, a civil trial in New York, threatens to cripple the former president's company, the Trump Organization . James is seeking $250 million in damages in the civil case. In July, the U.S. Department of Justice dropped a nearly three-year effort to protect Trump from civil liability in the suit. In May, three of Trump's children, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, were dismissed as defendants from the case after Kaplan proposed that move. The payments were made shortly before the 2016 presidential election, in which Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Persons: Dow Jones

A New York appeals court on Tuesday dismissed the New York attorney general’s civil case against Donald J. Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and potentially limited the case against the former president and his family business, which is set to go to trial in October. Last year, the attorney general, Letitia James, filed a lawsuit against Mr. Trump, his company and three of his adult children, including Ms. Trump, accusing them of fraudulently overvaluing the former president’s assets by billions of dollars to receive favorable loans. On Tuesday, the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court in Manhattan said in a unanimous ruling that Ms. James’s claims against Ms. Trump should be dismissed because the attorney general missed a deadline for filing the case against her. Ms. Trump was no longer a part of the Trump Organization after 2016, the ruling noted. The appeals court effectively left it to the State Supreme Court judge presiding over the case to determine whether the claims against the other defendants — including Mr. Trump, his company and his two adult sons — should be limited.

The lawsuit seeks at least $250 million in damages from Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr and Eric, the Trump Organization and others, and to stop the Trumps from running businesses in New York. He has also called James' case and two unrelated criminal indictments, where he has pleaded not guilty, part of a Democratic "witch hunt." It also said all claims against Ivanka Trump should be dismissed because they were filed too late, and because she was no longer with the Trump Organization at the relevant time.
