Donald Trump has again lashed out at New York attorney general Letitia James on Truth Social, calling her “politically biased and motivated” in her investigation of his business and its financial statements, which he insists were really “undervalued”, not overstated as she has alleged and a judge has acknowledged.

Ms James sued Mr Trump, the Trump Organization and his three adult children in September 2022, accusing them of producing fraudulent valuations of their properties and misrepresenting their financial records, exaggerating their worth “by billions” to extract favourable terms from lenders and insurers.

The defendants in the case have consistently denied any wrongdoing but Ms James has sought $250m in compensation and branded the affair “the art of the steal”, parodying the title of Mr Trump’s best-selling 1987 business manual, resulting in the civil trial in Manhattan that wrapped earlier this week.

Raging away just hours after his legal team lost their latest appeal to overturn a gag order pertaining to the trial – which was kept in place to prevent Mr Trump from using his public platform to berate court staff – the Republican presidential front-runner insisted: “I am worth Billions of Dollars more than is shown on my very Conservative Financial Statements, THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE A.G. WITCH HUNT!!!”

He continued: “In addition to that, I have a 100% Disclaimer and Non-reliance Clause, stating CLEARLY that the user must do their own analysis and due-diligence. That’s what the banks stated IN Court that they did, and were PAID IN FULL, ON TIME AND ON SCHEDULE. NO VICTIMS, ONLY SUCCESS AND PROFITS.
