Former President Donald Trump appears to have lied in sworn court records, opening him up to severe sanctions by a New York judge who has already lost his patience and threatened to punish him before.
Trump claimed he wasnt the president of the Trump Organization during his four years at the White House, despite previously testifying that he was an inactive president. And he claimed that he didnt have a financial stake in a partnership with the real estate company Vornado, even though he previously testified that he did.
On Tuesday, the New York Attorney Generals Office asked Justice Arthur F. Engoron to intervene quickly to ensure that the former president still faces a trial later this year that could bankrupt his company.
New York AG Letitia James sued the Trump family and their real estate empire for at least $250 million last year, the end result of a three-year investigation that documented how the Trumps have routinely faked property values to score better bank loans and cheat taxes. The civil lawsuit threatens to yank the companys credentials, seize its bank accounts, and choke off its access to any banks in New York Citythe global finance capital.

This lawsuit changes nothing in that regard.
Justice matters.

Perjury is just another crime he won't be punished for in his treasonous mind!
