james, had a civil fraud lawsuit. that is the case for trump and its company are being accused of defrauding investors by, among other things, inflating the value of their assets to obtain favorable loans from banks. one of the things that mr. weisselberg was asked about under oath, was donald trump's penthouse apartment in trump tower. the one that looks like -- they believe that this nonsense in particular is a glaring example of donald trump's over valuation. there are a monster chandelier's in their marble walls. but this was listed on annual financial statements measuring more than 30, 000 square feet when in reality, it is just over 10, 000 square feet. it is a third of that size. which in new york city real estate is a colossal overstatement. and when mr. allen weisselberg was asked, again, under oath, if he had anything to do with that bonkers overstatement, he said i never focused on it, to be honest with you. it was almost relative to trump's net worth so i really didn't focus on it. it really appears to be

letitia james. and this suit dates all the way back to 2020. she and her team have been working on it for four years. it is a major rebuke to the nra at a time when many have asked just how america's gun laws got to this point, why a country that has overwhelming 60% support for, for example basic common sense gun safety can't get those measures passed on a federal basis. if you follow this issue at all you know the nra is a big, big part of that. while this isn't a rejection of their legal views on gun viwill policy, it certainly raises major questions about what the nra has been doing for years with its own funds and whether it truly represents most gun owners in america. that's why this is a big case in many ways beyond even the restitution and the big loss by the nra's former head there. i want to bring in two of our legal reporters on this. i'm going to suggest, lisa, you tell us about the ruling, and emily, you tell us about how the nra and some their legal allies have really shaped secondary judas prudence in this country. if it's an org
