New York Attorney General Letitia James’s $250 million lawsuit against former president Donald Trump over a decade’s worth of allegedly fraudulent business practices will go forward after a judge refused to dismiss it on Friday.
At issue is a lawsuit that James filed in September against Trump; three of his adult children who have been company executives; his longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg; and the company after a multiyear investigation. New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron has set an October trial date for the major civil case to be heard.
Engoron, for his part, scolded Trump’s legal team in his decision, saying “sophisticated defense counsel should have known better” than to make baseless arguments that have been rejected in prior motions. But he stopped short of issuing sanctions, which he wrote were “unnecessary” after making his point in the written ruling.
If a trial in the James lawsuit goes forward this fall as scheduled, it would happen as campaigning for the 2024 presidential primaries heats up.
