arrive for a press conference Januat Trump Tower in New York. President-elect Donald Trump along with his children Eric, left, Ivanka and Donald Jr. Trump responded to the lawsuit by calling James “a fraud who campaigned on a ‘get Trump’ platform, despite the fact that the city is one of the crime and murder disasters of the world under her watch.” Trump and his company used “false and misleading” financial statements, her lawsuit alleged, “repeatedly and persistently to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms than would otherwise have been available to the company, to satisfy continuing loan covenants, and to induce insurers to provide insurance coverage for higher limits and at lower premiums.” “No one, my friend, is above the law,” she added. “This conduct cannot be brushed aside and dismissed as some sort of good-faith mistake,” James told reporters Wednesday. An intricately detailed, 200-plus page civil lawsuit lays out New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case that former President Donald Trump, three of his children, his companies and his business executives defrauded lenders, insurers and other entities.
