AG: Trump Lied About Size Of Trump Tower Penthouse

The New York Daily News reports:

One of the most egregious alleged examples of the family’s “misstated objective facts” could be found at the top of the twice-impeached former president’s Midtown Manhattan skyscraper.

Trump has since 2012 claimed in tax and banks records that his triplex penthouse in Trump Tower was 30,000 square feet, according to New York AG Letitia James.

The penthouse is actually 10,966 feet. The inflated size allowed Trump to overstate the value of the apartment “by a factor of three,” the petition claims. Trump valued the apartment at $327 million in 2015, which overstates its worth by about $200 million, the AG says.
