Former President Donald Trump “grossly” exaggerated his net worth on financial disclosure forms for a decade — cooking the books by as much as $2.2 billion in a single year, New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged in court papers filed Wednesday.
The fresh claims came in documents in which James’ office asked a judge to rule on parts of her $250 million lawsuit against the ex-president, his company the Trump Organization and kids Eric and Donald Trump Jr. over alleged “staggering” fraud.
By allegedly lying on the forms for a decade, Trump, 77, received more favorable loan and insurance terms — “reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten savings and profits,” the Manhattan Supreme Court filing states.
