The New York attorney general’s office said its civil investigation has uncovered evidence that former President Donald Trump's company used “fraudulent or misleading” asset valuations to get loans and tax benefits. In a court filing late Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, James’ office said evidence showed that the Trump Organization routinely misrepresented the value of its properties and golf clubs in financial statements.
