A $250 million civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump was announced this week by the New York Attorney General, thanks to the questioning of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a congressional hearing more than three years ago.
The New York attorney general's office asked federal prosecutors to look into Trump's business practices.
James filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Organization, accusing them of inflating his net worth and inflating asset values in order to avoid taxes.
James spent three years investigating Trump and his business empire. The story of Trump's most recent legal problem begins in February of this year, when a lawmaker went toe-to-toe with a convicted criminal.
At a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing where Michael Cohen testified publicly against his one-time boss, the newly elected congresswoman stole the show.
The praise for her questions and follow-ups which prompted Cohen to make some enlightening revelations came from the praise she received for her questions and follow-ups which came from the praise she received for her questions and follow-ups which came from the praise she received for her questions and follow-up
Cohen was asked if Trump had ever given an insurance company inflated assets.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges in two separate investigations. Cohen said several Trump Organization executives were aware of the practices.
Where would the committee find more info on this? "Occupy-Cortez?" Do you think we should look at his financial statements and tax returns?
Cohen said that it would be found at the Trump Organization.

The New York attorney general said the exchange prompted the probe.
The investigation began after Michael Cohen, the former lawyer, testified before Congress.
James was accused of being a failed AG with a lack of talent by Trump. A lawyer for Trump said that James' office is focused on her political agenda and not on the facts.
James said Wednesday that her office believes there is enough evidence in the civil suit to show that Trump and his organization broke federal criminal law.
The most recent legal trouble for Trump is an FBI probe into how he handled classified materials.
