"Trump's Empire at Risk: Predictions and Reckoning in New York Fraud Case"

Former President Donald Trump faces a potentially devastating blow to his real estate empire as a Manhattan court is set to announce its ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing Trump and The Trump Organization of fraudulently inflating financial statements to secure loans. The judge ruled in favor of James, ordering the dissolution of some of Trump's companies, revocation of The Trump Organization's business license, and appointment of an independent monitor. Trump has denied wrongdoing and appealed the ruling, while also using the case to rally his supporters and accuse James of political targeting. The final ruling could result in significant penalties and restrictions on Trump and his business in New York.
