Last week, a state Supreme Court judge found Trump and his co-defendants responsible for fraud due to significant exaggerations of asset values in financial statements which could mark the end of Trump's business endeavors in his former home state.
As reported by CNN, this trial will determine the amount of damages to be paid, with Trump's adult children and closest business advisors on the list of potential witnesses. In anticipation of the trial, increased security measures have been implemented, according to the New York State Unified Court System and the proceedings are anticipated to stretch into December.
After years of investigation by Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James, it was revealed that the former president and his company face accusations of falsifying information about his wealth in financial statements.
James is also pursuing fines of at least $250 million from Trump and is seeking a prohibition on his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric from engaging in business activities in New York.
