Trump Organization and Associates indicted for alleged fraud
In a civil lawsuit brought by the New York Attorney General, the Trump Organization and several individuals associated with it have been accused of engaging in fraud. The lawsuit alleges that the Trump Organization habitually overvalued properties when making financial statements and obtaining loans. The judge denied a motion for summary judgment from the Trump side and partially granted one from the Attorney General's side, finding that fraud had been established. The judge also imposed sanctions on Trump's legal team for repeatedly making "bogus arguments." The consequences of the ruling include the loss of licenses to do business, potential dissolution of the businesses, and significant financial penalties.
