The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James indicated she will not drop her civil fraud case against President-elect Donald Trump, his sons, and his company that led to a more than $450 million judgment earlier this year.

Earlier this year, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $454 million in a civil fraud judgment in James’s lawsuit against Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, earlier arguing in his ruling that he believes Trump defrauded banks, insurers, and investors by allegedly inflating his net worth and the valuation of his properties.
