"NY Attorney General's Initial Move to Seize Trump Assets Sparks Legal Battle"

The New York attorney general's office has taken steps to seize former President Trump's assets by filing judgments in Westchester County, where his golf resort and private estate are located, following a ruling that Trump and his business were liable for fraud and ordered to pay $464 million. Trump has just four days to post a surety bond for his portion of the judgment, but his lawyers admitted he could not secure the full amount, leading to a legal battle over the bond and potential asset seizure.

"Trump Judge and Attorney General Receive Suspicious White Powder Letters"

A letter containing white powder was sent to the Manhattan chambers of Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over Donald Trump's $464 million civil fraud judgment, on the same day Trump's attorneys filed a motion to stay the ruling. The building did not need to be evacuated, and the powder was deemed safe. Separately, a similar letter was sent to the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the case against Trump. Trump's lawyers have filed a notice of appeal, seeking to overturn Engoron's verdict, which found that Trump and his company schemed to deceive banks and insurers. If upheld, the ruling will force Trump to pay nearly $464 million in penalties.

"Ex-NRA Leader Settles Corruption Case as Organization Faces Shaky Future"

Former NRA Executive Director of Operations, Joshua Powell, has settled with the New York Attorney General's office for $100,000, admitting to misuse of the nonprofit's funds ahead of a corruption trial. The settlement comes as part of a larger civil suit initiated by Attorney General Letitia James, who is also seeking to dissolve the NRA for alleged financial abuses by its leaders, including recently resigned CEO Wayne LaPierre. The trial against other NRA leaders is still set to proceed, with the aim of holding the organization accountable for decades of alleged financial misconduct.

"New York AG Targets Trump for $370M in Fraud Case, Family Predicts Potential Ruin"

Former President Donald Trump has reacted strongly to New York Attorney General Letitia James' move to seek $370 million in fines against him in a civil-fraud case. Trump's outburst on Truth Social, where he called James "totally corrupt," comes after the AG's office increased the damages sought from $250 million to $370 million, citing new evidence of fraudulent conduct by Trump and his organization. The case, which also seeks to ban Trump and his sons from New York real estate dealings, is part of a series of legal challenges that could affect Trump's 2024 presidential run. Judge Arthur Engoron is expected to rule on the case by the end of January.

"NY AG Targets Trump for $370M in Civil Fraud Case"

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $370 million from Donald Trump and his co-defendants in a civil fraud trial, aiming to bar them from doing business in the state. The sum represents an increase from the initial $250 million sought, based on allegations of fraudulent financial statements that purportedly benefited Trump financially. The trial has already seen a summary judgment ruling against Trump for persistent fraud, and his attorneys are planning appeals. The attorney general also seeks a five-year business ban for Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, while Trump's legal team denies any intent to defraud and questions the credibility of key witnesses. Judge Arthur Engoron has dismissed several of Trump's defense arguments and will soon hear closing arguments in the case.
