IVANKA/LAWSUIT/NEW YORK/TRUMP BUSINESS/TRUMP FAMILY: “A New York appeals court on Tuesday rejected Donald Trump’s bid to end the state attorney general’s lawsuit accusing him and his family business of ‘staggering’ fraud, but dismissed all claims against his daughter Ivanka Trump and said the remaining case may be limited further.

Attorney General Letitia James’ civil case filed last September accused Trump of lying from 2011 to 2021 about asset values, including for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and Trump Tower penthouse in Manhattan, as well as his own net worth, to obtain better terms from lenders and insurers.

The lawsuit seeks at least $250 million in damages from Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr and Eric, the Trump Organization and others, and to stop the Trumps from running businesses in New York.”
