Trump’s Fraud Problem Kept Getting Bigger, And the Calendar Was Closing In
The New York attorney general’s civil fraud case against Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and other defendants was filed on September 21, 2022, and was still very much active on October 2. The suit accused Trump and his company of inflating asset values and using misleading financial statements in dealings with lenders and insurers, putting his business practices under a formal legal microscope. As of that date, the case had not reached final judgment, but it had already become a major legal and political headache for Trump and his family business.
