Donald Trump's company and its executives have been served.
Trump's attorney Alina Habba was served the 220-page New York lawsuit from Attorney General Letitia James after Trump Organization leaders Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump dodged process servers, wrote Business Insider.
The lawsuit is part of a years-long fraud investigation claiming that the Trump Org. had a practice of exaggerating the sizes of assets and artificially inflating their value to score capital and deflating them for tax breaks or refunds.
The attorney general sent emails to Habba and Eric Trump's lawyer, Clifford Robert, but they never confirmed receipt, a court filing last week said. Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump had accepted service.
While the lawyers never responded, they did file a "notice of appearance" to the court around the same time.
"The apparent runaround led James' office to accuse Trump's side of 'gamesmanship,'" wrote Insider. So, James asked the court if she could simply email the papers to Habba and Robert. The judge agreed.
Oct. 31 is the date set for the oral arguments.
