NEW YORK: In a civil probe of the former U.S. president’s business activities, the New York state attorney general filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and his adult children on Wednesday for “multiple acts of fraud and deceit,” according to court records.
The Trump Organization was accused of wrongdoing in the complaint, which was filed in a New York state court in Manhattan, regarding the preparation of Trump’s annual statements of financial status from 2011 to 2021. Additionally identified as defendants were the Trump Organization, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and the former president’s son.
