Trump's Lawyers Seek Dismissal of NY Fraud Lawsuit, Potentially Shaking Up His Business

Donald Trump's lawyers have made a long-shot request to a New York judge to decide a civil fraud case in his favor, as the trial against him, his two adult sons, and 10 of his companies continues. The New York attorney general's office has accused Trump and his family businesses of manipulating the value of assets to secure better deals and reduce taxes. Trump's lawyers asked for a "directed verdict," but it is unlikely to be granted as the judge has already found Trump and his businesses guilty of persistent fraud. The trial is expected to continue through mid-December.
