COMING. UP TODAY. FIRST AT FOUR. WE HAVE A BIG COOL DOWN ON THE WAY RIGHT NOW. EXACT TRACK, 40
RADAR IS CLEAR. THE SEVERE
WEATHER HAS MOVED OUT AND FALL
OFFICIALLY ARRIVED. YOUR
FORECAST IS STRAIGHT AHEAD. ALSO
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP,
FACING CLAIMS OF FRAUD IN A
CIVIL LAWSUIT CLAIMING YOU HAVE
MONEY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE. IT
WAS NOT AMOUNT TO THE ART OF THE
DEAL. IT’S THE ART OF THE STEAL.
THE ALLEGATIONS. POSSIBLE
PUNISHMENT AND RESPONSE FROM THE
FORMER PRESIDENT’S ATTORNEY NEXT
FIRST AT FOUR. LIVE FROM
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS
FIRST AT FOUR STARTS NOW. GOOD
AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I’M KAREN
DREW FIRST AT FOUR. WE ARE
LOOKING AT A SWEEPING LAWSUIT
AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP, THREE OF HIS CHILDREN AND
HIS COMPANY. THEY’RE ALL ACCUSED
OF PADDING TRUMP’S NET WORTH AND
THEN LYING ABOUT THE VALUE OF
PRIZED ASSETS. DEVIN SCILLIAN IN
THE NEWSROOM WITH THE CLAIMS AND
THE RESPONSE FROM THE FORMER
PRESIDENT’S ATTORNEY, DEVIN
COMES AFTER A THREE YEARS CIVIL
INVESTIGATION FOCUSING ON DONALD
TRUMP, THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION
AND HIS THREE ELDEST CHILDREN.
DONALD JR. IVANKA AND ERIC, IF
THEY WERE TO LOSE, THE LAWSUIT
COULD DESTROY A KEY PART OF
TRUMP’S PERSONA AS HE’S ALWAYS
PORTRAYED HIMSELF AS A VERY
SUCCESSFUL IN SAVVY BUSINESSMAN
WITH A SIGNIFICANT NET WORTH,
NEW YORK’S ATTORNEY GENERAL
LETICIA JAMES, ALLEGES, THOUGH,
THAT TRUMP LIED ABOUT THE VALUES
OF HIS GOLF COURSES, HOTELS AND
HOMES AT MARA LAGO AND AT TRUMP
TOWER IN NEW YORK. THE FILING
ILLUSTRATES AN EYE POPPING MORE
THAN 200 ALLEGED INSTANCES OF
FRAUD OVER 10 YEARS 2011 TO 2021
. THE SUIT IS SEEKING AT LEAST
$250 MILLION, IT SAYS, IS THE
APPROXIMATE WORTH OF THE
BENEFITS THE DEFENDANT’S GAINED
THROUGH FRAUDULENT PRACTICES, IS
ALSO SEEKING TO BAR THE TRUMP
FAMILY, AN ORGANIZATION FROM
DOING BUSINESS IN NEW YORK REAL
ESTATE AND FROM APPLYING FOR ANY
LOANS IN NEW YORK FOR A PERIOD
OF FIVE YEARS. JAMES GAVE ONE
EXAMPLE ACCUSING TRUMP OF
CLAIMING IS APARTMENT IN TRUMP
TOWER WAS 30,000 SQUARE FEET
WHEN IT WAS REALLY 11,000. AND
BASED ON THAT INFLATED SQUARE
FOOTAGE THE VALUE OF THE
APARTMENT IN 2015 IN 2016. WAS
$327 MILLION. TO THIS DATE. NO
APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY HAS
EVER SOLD FOR CLOSE TO THAT
AMOUNT. TRIPLING THE SIZE OF THE
APARTMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE
VALUATION WAS INTENTIONAL AND
DELIBERATE FRAUD. NOT AN HONEST
MISTAKE ON ATTORNEY FOR THE
FORMER PRESIDENT RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING QUOTE TODAY’S
FILING IS NEITHER FOCUSED ON THE
FACTS NOR THE LAW. RATHER IT IS
SOLELY FOCUSED ON ADVANCING THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL’S POLITICAL
AGENDA. IT IS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR
THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S
OFFICE HAS EXCEEDED ITS
STATUTORY AUTHORITY BY PRYING
INTO TRANSACTIONS WERE
ABSOLUTELY NO WRONGDOING HAS
TAKEN PLACE, IN QUOTE THAT FROM
ALI ALI HARBOR. THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL SAYS THE SUIT WAS FILED
AFTER SHE REJECTED SETTLEMENT
OFFERS FROM LAWYERS FOR THE
DEFENDANTS. BUT IT COMES AS OF
COURSE, TRUMP FACES OTHER
INVESTIGATIONS, ONE LARGE ONE
CONNECTED TO THE 2020 ELECTION.
THE JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTION AND
MORE AT THE SAME TIME, ALSO
CONSIDERING THE OF COURSE
ANOTHER RUN FOR PRESIDENT 2024
SO MUCH MORE TO COME AS WE
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS, THIS
JUST HAPPENING THIS AFTERNOON,
KAREN BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, DEVIN.
IT’S BEEN A BUSY DAY IN THE
WEATHER OFFICE AND STORMY
WEATHER BLEW THROUGH METRO
DETROIT. NOW THE SUN IS SHINING
AND ANOTHER CHANGE COMING.
METEOROLOGISTS HAVE ADAMS HAS
YOUR FIRST FORECAST. WELL KAREN,
WE DID HAVE THOSE STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS COME THROUGH JUST
EXACTLY WHEN WE THOUGHT THEY
WOULD AROUND THE MIDDAY HOUR AND
NOW IT IS NICE AND QUIET ON
EXACT TRACK 40 RADAR AS WE LOOK
AT THE CLOUDS AND RADAR, WE DO
HAVE A LOT OF CLOUDS IN PLACE.
THE COLD FRONT HAS NOT COME
THROUGH YET. NORMALLY THIS IS
WHEN WE WOULD START GETTING
THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
BUT THE STORMS WE HAD EARLIER
REALLY ZAP THE ENERGY NEEDED TO
GET MORE STORMS GOING, BUT IT’S
STILL HOT AND HUMID OUT AHEAD OF
THIS FRONT, WITH TEMPERATURES IN
THE EIGHTIES LOT OF HEAT DOWN TO
OUR SOUTH, BUT YOU SEE THAT
COOLER AIR JUST STARTING TO
SETTLE IN. SO HERE’S WHERE WE GO
WITH OUR TEMPERATURES AS THAT
COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THIS
EVENING, WE GO FROM 84 AT SIX
O’CLOCK. BY MIDNIGHT ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LOW SEVENTIES AND BY
TOMORROW MORNING WHEN YOU WAKE
UP, IT WILL BE 30 DEGREES COOLER
THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. WE’LL TALK
MORE ABOUT THAT AND YOUR WEEKEND
FORECAST COMING UP. DETROIT
POLICE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IN
THE SHOOTING DEATH OF A 70 YEAR
OLD MAN ON THE CITY’S EAST SIDE
RIGHT NOW, THE INVESTIGATION IS
JUST GETTING STARTED. WE DO KNOW
HE WAS FOUND ON THE 13,000 BLOCK
OF CAMDEN, WHICH IS NEAR 94
DICKERSON. THE ELDERLY VICTIM
WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT
HE DIDN’T MAKE IT. WE DO HAVE A
CREW WORKING THE STORY WHERE
EFFORTING SOME NEW INFORMATION
FOR YOU. AND WE’LL HAVE THAT IN
A LIVE REPORT TONIGHT AT FIVE
FOLLOW FROM A DEADLY STABBING IN
FRASER CONTINUES. THE MACOMB
COUNTY PROSECUTOR SAYS THREE
JUVENILES WILL BE CHARGED AS
ADULTS IN THE DEATH OF A 14 YEAR
OLD BOY HAPPENED BACK ON
SEPTEMBER 13TH. THE SUSPECT’S
FACE SEVERAL CHARGES EACH,
INCLUDING FELONY MURDER. THEY
WERE IN COURT THIS MORNING AND
ARE BEING HELD AT THE MACOMB
COUNTY JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER
WITHOUT BOND. THEY’RE EXPECTED
IN COURT AT THE END OF THE
MONTH. WELL, THERE’S STILL
PLENTY OF CONFUSION AND ALSO
SOME CONCERN IN THE SOUTH
REDFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT A
CYBER ATTACK THAT CANCELED
CLASSES TWO DAYS IN A ROW. THE
DISTRICT WAS FIRST CLOSED
YESTERDAY AFTER THE CYBERATTACK
WAS DISCOVERED. SCHOOL LEADERS
ARE WORKING WITH CYBER FORENSIC
TEAMS TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM TO
NORMAL OPERATIONS. SO FAR, WE
DON’T KNOW OF ANY PERSONAL
INFORMATION WAS AT RISK. ANYONE
WITH DEVICES ISSUED BY THE
DISTRICT STILL BEING TOLD NOT TO
USE THEM. WE’RE WAITING TO SEE
IF THE SCHOOLS WILL REOPEN
TOMORROW. PARENTS WILL BE
NOTIFIED WHEN THAT DECISION IS
MADE, AND OF COURSE, WE’LL KEEP
YOU POSTED OIL REFINERY NEAR
TOLEDO, OHIO, REMAINS CLOSED
AFTER A FIRE THAT LEFT TWO
PEOPLE DEAD. AND SOME UNANSWERED
QUESTIONS. BIG FLAMES IN A TOWER
OF SMOKE COULD BE SEEN FOR MILES
WHEN THAT FIRE STARTED. SO FAR,
THERE’S NO WORD ON THE CAUSE OR
THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE, THE
REFINERY CAN PROCESS UP TO
160,000 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL PER
DAY. WE DO HAVE A CREW IN TOLEDO
GETTING NEW INFORMATION AND WHAT
COMES NEXT, AND ALSO ASKING
THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE
FIRE COULD AFFECT THE PRICES. WE
ALL PAY THE GAS PUMP WILL HAVE
THAT LIVE REPORT AT FIVE.
TENSIONS ARE RISING BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA, AS
VLADIMIR PUTIN MAKES A NEW
THREAT AND PRESIDENT I DIDN’T
RESPONDS, BIDEN TOLD THE UNITED
NATIONS. UKRAINE IS FIGHTING
RUSSIA FOR ITS VERY RIGHT TO
EXIST. WHOEVER YOU ARE. WHEREVER
YOU LIVE. WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE.
THAT SHOULD NOT THAT SHOULD MAKE
YOUR BLOOD RUN COLD. TODAY PUTIN
ANNOUNCED A PARTIAL MOBILIZATION
OF RUSSIA’S ARMED FORCES. HE
ACCUSED THE WEST OF TRYING TO
DESTROY HIS COUNTRY AND SAID
RUSSIA HAS LOTS OF WEAPONS TO
REPLY TO HINT AT THE POSSIBLE
USE OF NUCLEAR FORCE. PUTIN ALSO
THE THREAT IS QUOTE, NOT A
BLUFF. BIDEN IS CONDEMNING THE
ACTIONS AND PUTTING THE BLAME
FOR THE CONFLICT SQUARELY ON
PUTIN. THIS WORLD SHOULD SEE
THESE OUTRAGEOUS ACTS FOR WHAT
THEY ARE. PUTIN CLAIMS HE HAD TO
ACT. BECAUSE RUSSIA WAS
THREATENED. BUT NO ONE
THREATENED RUSSIA. AND NO ONE
OTHER THAN RUSSIA. SOUGHT.
CONFLICT. THE MOVE COMES AS
UKRAINE JUST HANDED RUSSIA SOME
STUNNING LOSSES, TAKING BACK
TOWNS AND UNCOVERING NEW
EVIDENCE OF WAR CRIMES. IT IS
CLEAR THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT
FOR THE INVASION THAT STARTED
ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS AGO. THE
FEDERAL RESERVE JUST RAISED THE
KEY INTEREST RATE AS IT TRIES TO
FIGHT INFLATION WITHOUT SENDING
THE COUNTRY INTO A RECESSION. IT
BOOSTED A SHORT TERM RATE BY
THREE QUARTERS OF A POINT FOR
THIRD STRAIGHT TIME, SO THAT
PUSHES IT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL
SINCE EARLY 2008. THE MOVE MAKES
IT MORE EXPENSIVE TO BORROW
MONEY, WHICH COULD THEN SLOW
SPENDING AND THE PLAN OBVIOUSLY
IS TO COOL INFLATION. WE’VE KEEP
BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THE
MARKETS FOR YOU. THE DOW JONES
WAS DOWN ABOUT 300 POINTS
YESTERDAY AS INVESTORS WAITED
FOR THE FED’S DECISION TODAY AND
TAKE A LOOK. TAKES A BIG DIVE
DOWN 522 POINTS AT THE CLOSE BY
THE WAY, FED HAS ALSO SIGNALED
MORE RATE HIKES ARE LIKELY IN
THE FUTURE. HERE AT HOME. WE ARE
CELEBRATING SOME OF DETROIT’S
BEST ARTISTS THIS MONTH, AND
IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO
ENJOY THEIR WORK EVERY
SEPTEMBER, THE CITY HOLDS A WIDE
RANGE OF EXPERIENCES THAT SHINE
A SPOTLIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

CHEVROLET SAYS CREATIVITY IS IN
DETROIT D N A AND CELEBRATING
THAT ONLY HELPS THAT CREATIVITY
GROW. EVERYONE REALLY TRIES TO
WORK WITH EACH OTHER RATHER THAN
COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER. AND
I THINK THAT THE TREATMENT OF
DESIGN HAS HELPED TO PROPEL THAT
ATTITUDE HERE IN THE CITY, AND
WORKSHOPS LIKE THIS ALLOW PEOPLE
WHO MAY BE INTIMIDATED BY ART OR
DESIGN. GET A TASTE OF HOW MUCH
DESIGN IMPACTS OUR CITY AND WE
GET TO DO THIS FOR A LIVING. IF
WE GET TO MAKE PRETTY THINGS

RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THAT BACK
TO EVERYONE ELSE. DETROIT
