>> THE DECISION COMING JUST
HOURS AFTER NEW YORK’S ATTORNEY

HERE’S ABC’S ANDREW DYMBURT
>> A NEW LEGAL SETBACK FOR
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. A
FEDERAL APPEALS COURT IS NOW
ALLOWING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
TO CONTINUE LOOKING AT
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FOUND AT
MAR-A-LAGO AS INVESTIGATORS
CONSIDER WHETHER TO BRING
CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST TRUMP
FOR STORING TOP SECRET RECORDS
AT HIS FLORIDA HOME. THE COURT
SAYING TRUMP HAS PRESENTED NO
EVIDENCE THAT HE DECLASSIFIED
THOSE RECORDS. AN ARGUMENT HE
TRIED TO MAKE AGAIN ON FOX NEWS
LAST NIGHT, A FEW OF THE
PRESIDENT, THE UNITED STATES,
YOU CAN DECLASSIFY JUST BY
SAYING I’M A STICK LAST NIGHT,
EVEN BY THINKING ABOUT IT IN A
SEPARATE CASE, NEW YORK’S
ATTORNEY GENERAL IS NOW SUING
TRUMP 3 OF HIS CHILDREN AND THE
TRUMP ORGAZATION ACCUSING
THEM OF, QUOTE, STAGGERING
FRAUD, AG LETITIA JAMES CLAIMS
THEY OVERSTATED THE VALUE OF
NEARLY EVERY MAJOR PROPERTY.
TRUMP OWNS TO GET MORE
FAVORABLE LOANS AND OTHER
ADVANTAGES TO ENRICH THEMSELVES
IS A TALE OF 2 JUSTICE SYSTEMS.
ONE FOR EVERY DAY WORKING
PEOPLE.
AND ONE FOR THE ELITE.
ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, TRUMP
VALUED MAR-A-LAGO AT
739 MILLION DOLLARS NEARLY 10
TIMES HIGHER THAN WHAT IT’S
REALLY WORTH. 75 MILLION IN THE
LAWSUIT CLAIMS TRUMP VALUE HIS
NEW YORK CITY APARTMENT AT
327 MILLION DOLLARS. JAMES SAYS
IT’S WORTH ONLY ONE-THIRD OF
THAT AMOUNT. THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL IS SEEKING 250 MILLION
DOLLARS FROM THE TRUMPS AND
WANTS TO BAN THEM FROM EVER
DOING BUSINESS IN NEW YORK.
AGAIN, IT COULD BE DEVASTATING
FOR THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND
THE TRUMP FAMILY MEMBERS.
BUT CRITICS OF NEW YORK’S
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAY SHE’S
OVERREACHING WITH THIS LAWSUIT.
IT’S HARD FOR ME NOT TO
CONCLUDE IT’S A POLITICAL OUT A
HIT JOB. THIS IS A CIVIL
LAWSUIT, NOT A CRIMINAL ONE,
BUT JAMES SAYS SHE FOUND
EVIDENCE OF POTENTIAL BANK
FRAUD. SO SHE CENTER FINDINGS
TO FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN THE
MANHATTAN D A ANDREW DYMBURT
