New York Attorney General Letitia James released a statement marking the first day of her trial agaisnt former President Donald Trump on Monday. Trump will appear before Judge Arthur Engoron in Manhattan on Monday. He faces charges of fraud relating to his business dealings. “For years, Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth to enrich himself and cheat the system. We won the foundation of our case last week and proved that his purported net worth has long been rooted in incredible fraud. In this country, there are consequences for this type of persistent fraud, and we look forward to demonstrating the full extent of his fraud and illegality during trial" James wrote in a statement. “No matter how rich or powerful you are, there are not two sets of laws for people in this country. The rule of law must apply equally to everyone, and it is my responsibility to make sure that it does," she added. James began investigating Trump's business practices in 2019 soon after she was elected. Her charges represent one of four indictments the former president is facing, steming out of New York, Florida, Washington, D.C. and Georgia.

The judge is complicit if he doesn’t immediately toss this out and sanction the prosecutor.

The judge would go down in history as a hero.

How can you have a fraud case if no one was defrauded.

All parties involved were OK with the value assessment, the money was loaned, and then paid back in full with interest.

There is no complainant.

If the judge allows this to proceed the judge will still go down in history, but for an entirely different reason.

Which is worse? Inflating your net worth and probably paying more in taxes because of it or not reporting your net worth and income to avoid paying taxes???
