Letitia James wants $250m fraud lawsuit against Trump family to take place before the end of 2023 – and in front of judge who previously held former president in contempt
- New York Attorney General Letitia James is looking to have the case against Donald Trump and his family go to trial before the end of 2023
- James’ office would like to see the case go to trial ahead of the 2024 primaries
- James has accused Trump and his three eldest children of using misleading financial statements in their business
- The former president valued Mar-a-Lago at $739 million, while James’ office claims it should have been valued at a little over one-tenth of that cost at $75m
- Trump claimed his penthouse in Trump Tower in Manhattan was 30,000 square feet when in reality the place was only a third of that size at 11,000sq ft
