Trump Family Faces Setback as Judge Calls Mar-A-Lago Value Wildly Inflated

Former President Donald Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr. criticized a New York judge's ruling that they committed fraud by inflating the value of their assets, including the Mar-A-Lago estate. The judge cited an appraisal by the Palm Beach County Assessor valuing the property between $18 million and $27.6 million, while a 2023 market appraisal report by the city of Palm Beach valued it at $37 million. Trump and the defendants claim the property is worth over $1.5 billion, but Forbes estimated it at $325 million. The case heads to trial next week.
