Ex-US President Donald Trump, three of his adult children and his family company are sued for what New York state's attorney general calls a decade of fraudulent real estate misstatements to secure favorable loans and tax benefits.
The probe was opened in 2019 after the US president's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who has since been jailed, testified to Congress that Trump had inflated or under-reported the values of certain properties to secure loans or reduce his taxes.
US President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who has been cooperating with US Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible collusion between Russia and Trump's 2016 election campaign, pleaded guilty to the charges in August.
