NEW YORK, Sept 22 - Donald Trump's lawyers are trying on Friday to persuade a New York judge to throw out, just 10 days before a scheduled trial, most or all of state Attorney General Letitia James's lawsuit accusing the former U.S. president of "staggering" fraud.
Justice Arthur Engoron, who oversees the case, said at Friday's hearing that he expects to rule on the motions on Tuesday, after hearing oral arguments.It comes as Trump enjoys a dominating lead in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, despite facing a slew of litigation including four criminal indictments where he has pleaded not guilty.
She has said Trump overstated the values of more than 20 properties from 2011 to 2021, including his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and Trump Tower penthouse in Manhattan, and inflating his own fortune by as much as $3.6 billion.His lawyers have argued that James has no authority to sue over private transactions they say were not fraudulent, and that most of her claims fall outside statutes of limitations.
That prompted an appeals court judge on Sept. 14 to temporarily stay the trial. A five-judge panel is expected to decide next week whether the trial should proceed.On Thursday, James called Trump's request for a delay a "brazen and meritless" attempt to undermine Engoron's authority.
