It is unclear if Donald Trump will attempt to run for office once more, but it is clear that the state of New York is determined to take him to court. New York Attorney General Letitia James has publicly declared her intention to take the former President to court in 2023. James filed a lengthy lawsuit against Trump and his children in September, accusing him of inflating his net worth by several billion dollars. As punishment, James is hoping to ban Trump from conducting business in the Empire State.
“Given the fact that this action involves allegations of an ongoing scheme and conspiracy to obtain millions of dollars through fraudulent activity, and that defendants repeatedly have sought to delay the conclusion of OAG’s investigation, it is imperative that this case proceed quickly,” investigator Kevin Wallace, per Business Insider.
Donald Trump has fired back at James and her legal team. During a recent radio interview, he referred to her a “disaster.”
“You look at this Letitia James. She’s a disaster,” Trump said during a recent appearance on WABC 770 AM’s Cast At Night.
“She spends years going after me … She said I maybe misrepresented to banks, which frankly, I didn’t….she goes after me on…banks that are fully paid. Totally satisfied. Happy. They got their money back…In the meantime, we have murderers walking down the street.”
Despite Trump’s comments, James remains committed to securing “an expedited preliminary conference to set a trial date before the end of 2023.” However, a specific trial date has not yet been determined.
