As the Trump team battles multiple lawsuits, the former President sat down to set the record straight

In a wide-ranging interview with an American media outlet, former President Donald Trump responded in detail to civil litigation from New York State Democratic Attorney General Letitia James.

On Wednesday, James announced that she filed a sweeping fraud lawsuit against former President Trump and his family members.

The lawsuit alleges that the Trump Organization intentionally “manipulated” valuations in order to convince financial institutions to lend them money on more favorable terms.

President Trump responded to the claims during a sit-down interview saying, that his company adds a very big disclaimer in their financial document saying, “it’s a very powerful disclaimer—it basically says to an institution, if you’re going to loan money, you have to go out and make sure that you get your own appraisers, your lawyers, —everything.”

He added, “these are banks that have the best lawyers in the world and buy the way, they got paid back. I never got a default—I paid them back because we have a lot of cash I paid them back, I paid them off. I have very little debt, unbelievably little debt.”

Meanwhile President Trump and his legal team continue to fight the Department of Justice in court over documents seized during the FBI’s unprecedented early morning raid of Mar-a-Lago with the issue being whether or not the documents there were declassified.

President Trump said, “if you’re the President of the United States—you can declassify just by saying ‘it’s declassified’ even by thinking about it because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or to wherever you’re sending it and doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the present, you make that decision.”

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.

With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.

The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.

Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.

With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
