Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melbourne, and we begin with several legal crises that are coming together for Donald Trump right now.

It's been a week of setbacks for the former president. The big one is the New York Attorney General taking him to court, demanding sanctions, a quarter billion dollars, specifically, in penalties, Attorney General James, saying that the Trump family

and organization have committed massive and repeat fraud. And we're going to walk through this.

You may have heard the news yesterday, and a lot of it focused on the law, her powers, what she's

doing. There hasn't been as much time to really make sense of the evidence in her 220-page

filing. And so just briefly here

to start the broadcast, I wanted to do that with you. Look at Mar-a-Lago, which, of course, is in the nexus

of multiple legal issues, and we'll get to those tonight. But in the New York case, which deals

with Donald Trump's fraud in more than one place, Mara Lago down in Florida has an actual property

value of $75 million. What you see on the left there is what Letitia James says is all things

Now, you might notice when you look at this bar chart here that it seems really kind of low,

and that's because of what you're about to see to leave room for the Trump claims, you really have to build a giant chart where the Trump organization made claims

legally binding that this was worth $739 million.

That's not a bit above or double.

It is, as you see, about nine times more than, according to the case, what the AG says it's

worth.

So it is false, as best anyone can tell.

It certainly has never fetched

$739 million or anything close to that in the sale. What you're seeing on your screen in

simple form, which I'm leading the newscast with, because it's this important, is a piece of

evidence for dismantling the Trump organization. If this evidence holds and a judge signs off on it,
