Trump's Legal Battle: NY Supreme Court to Hear $250 Million Fraud Case

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers and New York state investigators clashed in court as they sought to gain an advantage before an upcoming trial that could have severe consequences for Trump's real estate empire. The New York Attorney General's Office argued that Trump was directly responsible for fraudulent personal financial statements that inflated the value of his properties, while Trump's legal team questioned the authority of the AG to pursue the case and argued that many of the real estate deals were too old to be considered. The judge expressed astonishment at the extent of Trump's lies and is expected to issue a ruling soon. The trial is set to begin on October 2nd.
