Donald Trump, his family business, and three of his adult children are being sued by New York’s attorney general who accuses them of overvaluing assets and their net worth through a decade of lies to banks and insurers.
Letitia James filed her civil lawsuit in a New York state court in Manhattan, accusing the Trump Organization of “numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation” in preparing financial statements from 2011 to 2021.
She also said Mr. Trump, who has long used his net worth to burnish his image and fame as a successful businessman and politician, inflated his wealth by billions of dollars to help his company obtain favourable financial terms on transactions, including lower interest rates and cheaper insurance coverage.
The 214-page complaint also names Mr Trump’s adult children Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump as defendants, as well as longtime company executives including former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg.

A new Spain, in more ways than one. As Lamine Yamal, who was not even a year old when they won Euro 2008, became first the youngest footballer to play in a European Championships and then, before half-time, the youngest to set up a goal in one, Luis de la Fuente’s side made a break with the past.

A Kate no-show would have fed the hungry rumour mill
The prospect of Trooping the Colour without royalty's star turn felt a bit like Britain's sun-free summer. Flat. But with impeccable timing, accompanied by a photograph of the Princess of Wales in \"the woods\" (she's not out of them yet), Kate rallied for the monarchy's flagship event.

Sandcastles, no matter how big, are no match for waves
If Labour wins with a majority bigger than Tony Blair's, Keir Starmer will be hailed as a colossus. He will deserve to be. It doesn't matter how lucky he has been, or how much the Conservative Party appears to be run by secret agents of the opposition, the Labour leader has positioned himself astutely and not messed up.
