President Donald J Trump recently faced legal scrutiny as Judge Arthur Engoron ruled against him and his company, finding that they had deceived various entities by inflating asset values and exaggerating his net worth on documents. This ruling followed Trump’s use of the Fifth Amendment during an initial deposition in August 2022, though he later cooperated and answered questions in a subsequent deposition in April 2023.
According to reports from Fox News, Trump’s legal spokeswoman, Alina Habba, criticized the judge’s decision, labeling it as “fundamentally flawed,” while praising the Trump Organization as “an American success story.” Additionally, a New York Appeals Court in June narrowed the scope of the civil lawsuit brought by state Attorney General Letitia James against the Trump family, excluding Ivanka Trump as a defendant and citing statute of limitations constraints for certain alleged fraud claims.
