Breaking tonight, former President Donald Trump says the quarter billion dollars civil Fraud Lawsuit against him is a scam. The former president making the comment as he arrived at the Manhattan Courthouse where the trial began. He is accused of deceiving banks and insurers. No one is above the law.

And determined by what someone is willing to pay. Trump argues his brand brings additional value. While Attorney General james claims the former president routinely lies about his net worth.
