Letitia James filed new lawsuit against Trump

 


She successfully sued former President Donald Trump in state civil court earlier this year for fraud, and this week filed a new lawsuit against him.

The lawsuit "raises concerns about his office's handling of a corporate fraud case decided four years ago," Newsweek reported, adding that the legal action "was brought by Ariel Schachter, who served as chief financial officer of Northern Leasing Systems , a company that was banned from practicing leasing in New York after a court sided with James' office regarding allegations that it engaged in fraudulent and deceptive practices throughout the United States.”

Former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman brought the civil case in 2016, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive practices by inducing small businesses to sign leases without fully disclosing the terms and misrepresenting the facts. Attorney General Letitia James continued the case after taking office in 2019. In 2020, a court ruled that the company was liable for fraud, the outlet noted.
