New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Friday, as ordered, filed a lengthy document outlining her proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law ahead of scheduled Jan. 11 closing arguments in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial. Those proposed findings, the AG said, should lead Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron to ban Trump for life from the New York real estate industry and slap him with a $370 million disgorgement penalty for “repeated and persistent fraud.”

In the filing, James asserted that Trump, former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, and former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney have each earned “lifetime” bans from “participating in the real estate industry in New York State or from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity” because they “worked together for years to inflate Trump’s net worth while concealing the fraud from counterparties.”
