The New York Attorney General is suing Donald Trump for $250 million in civil fraud, and this week’s trial evidence focused on the alleged worth of his daughter Ivanka Trump’s Park Avenue apartment. According to the New York Post, Donald Bender, Trump’s former accountant at Mazars, was questioned by the attorney general’s office regarding the cost of a penthouse condominium for Trump’s daughter. Bender said that he did not work for the Trump Organization to conduct an audit of Trump’s financial statements, but that “from time to time” he would flag up problems to Trump organization personnel.

When Ivanka had the opportunity to purchase a penthouse unit at Trump Park Avenue, he remembered raising a red flag. According to Bender, the amount mentioned on Trump’s financial schedule does not match the value in Ivanka’s option, per CNN. Bender said that he recalled adjusting the asset value twice. Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
