The case, brought by New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, kicks off an unprecedented stretch in which the former president will run for the nation’s highest office while facing a series of civil and criminal trials. In this case, James is accusing Trump of [inflating his riches by billions of dollars](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm_cKnP4QhAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMy8xMC8wMi9ueXJlZ2lvbi90cnVtcC1mcmF1ZC10cmlhbC9oZXJlcy10aGUtbGF0ZXN0LW9uLXRydW1wcy1jaXZpbC1mcmF1ZC10cmlhbC1pbi1uZXcteW9yaz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMTAwMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDQyMjkmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NjMwMyZzbWlkPXVybC1zaGFyZSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZRSnPRtlpaWV5lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) and crossing from hyperbole into fraud. In some years, the attorney general’s office contends, Trump, his adult sons and their family business inflated his riches by more than $2 billion so that they could secure favorable terms on loans from banks. The charges are civil, not criminal — meaning that Trump faces serious financial penalties, but not prison time. However, my colleague Ben Protess said that the case imperils his company and threatens his image as a master of the business world. “This is a case that strikes at his public persona as a successful businessman, someone who is not just a billionaire but a billionaire many times over,” Ben said. “Any undermining of that identity is something that really rubs him the wrong way.” Outside the courtroom today, Trump said the case against him was “a witch hunt” and fired a fusillade of personal attacks on James and the judge overseeing the case even suggesting that they were criminals. Inside, however, lawyers for the state methodically cast doubt on the [value of Trump’s signature properties](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm_cKnP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yOC9yZWFsZXN0YXRlL3RydW1wLXRvd2VyLXJlYWwtZXN0YXRlLW55Yy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMxMDAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwNDIyOSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ2MzAzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplFKc9G2WlpZXmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~), including Trump Tower in Manhattan.

The Republicans’ slim House majority means that if Democrats vote in unison against McCarthy, Gaetz would need only a handful of members to remove the speaker.

The heroine, played by Kaitlyn Dever, is a trauma-ridden outcast living in solitude who barely utters any words during the movie.

Hoping to buy, fix and flip an apartment in downtown Glasgow, he went to a Scottish home auction and made a bid on the wrong lot. As it turned out, for about $12,400, he had become the new owner of a derelict and uninhabitable Victorian-style home far from the city. To make matters worse, he had borrowed the money from his girlfriend’s parents. But Hunter, a carpenter by trade, and his girlfriend, Claire Segeren, decided to make it work. After five years, and almost $100,000 of renovations, [inspectors finally declared the property safe for habitation](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm_cKnP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8wMi9yZWFsZXN0YXRlL3Njb3RsYW5kLXZpbGxhLWhvbWUtcmVub3ZhdGlvbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMxMDAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwNDIyOSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ2MzAzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplFKc9G2WlpZXmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).
