New York's attorney general asked a judge Wednesday for a partial summary judgment against Donald Trump in her $250 million lawsuit accusing the former president of widespread fraud, citing what she called a "mountain of undisputed evidence" of false and misleading financial statements.
The allegedly false statements included years when Trump was in the White House, according to the filing.
James is suing the Trumps for allegedly defrauding banks, insurance companies and others with the use of false financial statements.
That trial would still take place to address other claims, even if Judge Arthur Engoron grants James' request for partial summary judgment and finds Trump and other defendants committed fraud under New York business law.
James, in her motion, says Engoron has to answer just "two simple and straightforward questions" to make that finding.
