Donald Trump and 3 of his children issued with Fraud Law Suit

Yep, Grannygravy, no surprise at all..

Excellent.

Hoorah, its time someone nailed this family, especially the poor imitation of David Icke that heads it.

Yes, I’ve been following this for months. The noose is gradually tightening.

The “special master” that Trump and his lawyers argued for is not playing ball either, so that is worth watching.

Anything that prevents him from standing again …

There is call for the Trump organisation to be called down

Gosh it is all coming out now

“Trump valued Mar A Lago at $739 million — the real value is closer to $75 million. He bought his Jupiter golf course for $5 mill — the next year he valued it at $62 million.”

?

“Special Master to Trump lawyers: “If the government gives me prima facia evidence that they are classified documents, and you don’t advance any claim of declassification, I’m left with a prima facia case of classified documents, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s the end of it,”

I wonder how many people will be pleased when fraud lawsuits are issued against recent and current members of the government?

Best news I have heard all day!

If there are grounds for a law suit to be brought then yes.

CNN

In addition to the new fraud lawsuit, the Trump Organization is going on trial next month on charges it was engaged in a 15-year tax fraud scheme and its long-time chief financial officer has agreed to testify against the company.

Good

Wonderful news.

Surely if there is fraud, everybody should be pleased that people are brought to justice, whoever they are. I would be upset if it was somebody I had trusted, but still pleased that their sins had been uncovered, there’s nothing worse than being taken for a fool.

Excuse my ignorance but what is Special Master ?

I still can’t rejoice at this latest news. Trump always seems to land on his feet no matter what he does! As they say, I’ll believe it (Trump’s downfall) when I see it.

This will not affect the most loyal followers that will believe it is an unjustified witch hunt

I am sure trump will use it for his advantage

If Trump’s valuation of properties was for the purpose of obtaining loans, why weren’t the real values checked at the time?

I bet he weasels his way out of it, odious creature.

I hope this does at least prevent him from standing again. I'm much cheered to hear the news, but concerned about what Hithere says, his supporters will continue to believe he is being persecuted. It does feel beyond belief that it is so, but have read else where he would be quite happy for some kind of insurrection or minor civil war.
He is first and foremost a narcissist and any attention is good attention (or better than nothing.

The figures on the valuation of his properties if breathtaking!

If I was Trump’s lawyers, I’d be more than worried that he would be paying my bill at the end of all these cases.

The “special master” in this case was appointed by the court at Trumps lawyers request, to oversee the government documents seized at Trumps various properties and illegally retained by Trump. They are independent from the defendants lawyers and the court.

Trumps argument outside of court (although it must be noted that he has not used that as a defence in court) was that he had used his power as President to de-classify the documents. However the special master as noted above found this not to be the case, and in point of fact, many of the documents Trump had taken were of the top most classification and vital to the security of the USA, which meant absolutely nobody can declassify them.
The special master was also asked to ensure nothing actually belonging to Trump was taken by the FBI.

Dreadful man. Sadly though the more he is investigated by the police, lawyers, Democrats and even some Republicans, the more his core supporters worship him. Strange but true.

Very good news and the NY Attorney General is referring the alleged fraud to Federal agencies for a potential criminal prosecution.
