The New York State Justice is scheduled to file a civil lawsuit against former US President Donald Trump, his three children – Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. – and the Trump Organization for tax evasion on October 2, 2023, the court reported this Tuesday (22).
All sued by state attorney general Letitia James to reimburse New York for US$250 million in damages, as well as to ban four people from occupying senior positions within the company.
The basis of the process is the analysis of tax documents used by Trump to “inflate” the value of almost all of his properties, which facilitates access to loans and tax benefits.
According to the data of the Attorney General’s Office, there are at least 200 incorrectly evaluated evaluations in 11 financial statements. All accusations are considered false by the Trump defense.
The date of the civil lawsuit was announced the day the former president suffered another defeat in filing income tax returns.
The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request to block the documents from being sent to the House Roads and Means Committee, which has been investigating the issue for years.
With the decision, the US Treasury Department has to hand over six years of tax documents from Trump and some of the companies it researches to the committee as soon as possible.
However, the demand may not go forward in the House, because starting January next year, the House will have a Republican majority and the group will need to nominate new members.
