- Story Text: Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at court on Wednesday (October 18) for the third week of a civil fraud trial which is centered on allegations that he inflated his net worth to secure more favorable loan terms.
The lawsuit by Democrat New York State Attorney General Letitia James alleges Trump reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten savings by overstating the value of his properties in documents he provided to banks.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and defended the valuations of his properties, saying the case is a "fraud" and attacking both James and the judge overseeing the case.
The trial largely concerns damages. James is seeking at least $250 million in fines, a permanent ban against Trump and his sons Donald Jr and Eric from running businesses in New York and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump and the Trump Organization.
