Donald Trump, his two adult sons, and the Trump Organization are all defendants in an ongoing lawsuit.
Trump’s administration claimed in a press release on September 21 that he and associates had “years of financial fraud to obtain a host of economic benefits.”
“The lawsuit alleges that Donald Trump, with the help of his children Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, and senior executives at the Trump Organization, falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms than would otherwise have been available to the company, to satisfy continuing loan covenants, to induce insurers to provide insurance coverage for higher limits and at lower premiums, and to gain tax benefits, among other things,” The release stated.
Ivanka Trump was not regarded as an agent of the Trump Organization throughout the designated term, the appeals court has formally decided. This choice was made after the corporation agreed to follow certain rules established by the state.
“The record before us … indicates that defendant Ivanka Trump was no longer within the agreement’s definition of ‘Trump Organization’ by the date the tolling agreement was executed,” it found.
“The allegations against defendant Ivanka Trump do not support any claims that accrued after February 6, 2016. Thus, all claims against her should have been dismissed as untimely.”
In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican Party in the next 2024 presidential election, heartily hailed the appellate court’s decision. He referred to it specifically as “Election Interference.”

“Those facts haven’t changed. This decision allows us to hold him accountable for that fraud, and we intend to do so.”
The trial court was given a another chance to consider the accusations against the other Trump family members by the appeal court. “determine, if necessary, the full range of defendants bound by the [August 2021] tolling agreement.”
