New York’s attorney general says her three-year investigation of former President Donald Trump uncovered potential crimes in the way he ran his real estate empire, including allegations of bank and insurance fraud.Attorney General Letitia James didn’t seek to slap handcuffs on the Republican this week, as some of his critics hoped. Instead, she announced a civil lawsuit seeking US$250 million and his permanent banishment from doing business in the state.
Otherwise, the office must partner with a county district attorney on a prosecution — as James' office did with the Manhattan district attorney's office in a case against Trump's longtime finance chief — or obtain what’s known as a criminal referral from the governor or a state agency that has jurisdiction over the alleged wrongdoing.In a criminal case, prosecutors would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump intended to commit a crime.
A civil case, given its lower burden of proof standard, is “a lot easier to assemble ... and probably win," Tobias said. James said at a news conference Wednesday that her office was referring its findings to the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan and the Internal Revenue Service, and would share evidence of possible state law violations with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, if requested.
If there’s no settlement agreement, James' lawsuit against Trump could take years to play out and might not be resolved before the 2024 presidential election.

Because the Liberal Democratic Dictatorship is full of shit And it's called due process like everyone is entitled to have Why is it that all news reporters in prison for spewing propaganda filled with false narratives
All these BS attempts to get him. Weeks before the midterms to try to persuade voters to stay with Biden/Pelosi/Schumer and continue the downward spiral to 3rd world status. Under President Trump Russia and China knew who the alpha male was. Great economy. Energy sufficient.
why isn't hunter Biden in cuffs?
I like trump.
Look in the mirror CTVNews, why are you so horny about Trump, report on our corrupt scandalist Canadian PM? ctvnewsmustgo
And Nancy Pelosi made hundreds of millions of dollars by Insider Trading but that's okay she's a Democrat
Because this is like the same old nothing burger like BS 2 year Mueller report.
You lie every day. Why are you not in jail? If they had criminal activity they would be charged. That’s why they are suing not charging. They have nothing.
The year is 2045, there is 348 genders, Hollywood is celebrating the 6th annual hunger games pitting republican voters against each other, Trump has been dead for 3 years. He died peacefully in Mara Lago but the shit libs are convinced, that 'this is the year' he goes to jail.
You leftists are the biggest lying hypocrites in the world. I can lay money down he does not get convicted of any wrong doing.. you people are hilariously brainwashed....
Did anybody directly lose money because of his self assessment?
Oh eventually he will be indicted, it pretty clear now, but calm down you will never see him handcuffed and never see him in jail. First and it a long shot, IF indicted and found guilty, he will Appeal, then he will go at the Supreme Court. So it will be a many years legal fight
Clown world clown news station 🤣🤣
Because you don't put people in cuffs for 'potential' crimes.
Good Question!
Because potential crimes, by their definition, might not be crimes. Interesting timing, though.
Why isn’t Justin?
Why isn’t JustinTrudeau in cuffs?
Are you seriously a news organization with this headline? Are you sure you’re not a neocon with TDS?
Canada For TRUMP
Same reason Hunter Biden isn't. They are protected elitists.
Same reason Hillary , Obama, Biden and the rest of them aren’t in prison.
The probe found he may have bragged about who he was to get better loans 🤣 Donald Trump … the biggest bragger in the world even before his presidency. What a joke. Never liked trump but this constant trying to charge him is sus af
That’s because yet again they are wasting money just to antagonize the left, and they are desperate before the midterms.
CDN probe found potential crimes. Why isn't Trudeau in cuffs?
Lock him up in Potential Jail and throw away the Potential keys!!!
it's called privilege!!
FBI found crimes by Hillary, why isn't she? Oh, and where is the article asking it? Funny... doesn't exist.
Probe and potential…question is answered
Because they are all crooked. One party wont push legal action against another for fear their “rags to riches” story comes out just as unpolished.
Last night i made a sandwich. i could have potentially killed something with a knife i used to slice it in half
Lets just be patient and wait and see which of his kids he throws under the bus to save himself
If they ever manage to get him into a criminal courtroom I honestly believe that he is going to go for a diminished capacity defense, his most recent revelation of newfound telepathic powers may support that, as will blaming Biden and Clinton for his classified document woes
Potential...
The article argues Trump should be treated as a citizen placed far above the law, criminally. This argues for a corrupt justice system where not everyone's equal before the law, but some are more 'equal' than others. What B.S.
Trick question? My guess: white, rich and privilege … to start.
Trying this one again, hoping for different results CTV?
Why would he be? You don’t arrest someone for “potential crimes”.
Because you’re potentially credible CTV. Your news concerning Trump is nothing but false hope to encourage the weak to believe you. You’re losing many viewers as we see what you’re doing behind the curtains!
It’s a civil suit with no victims. Political ad from the AG who is running in elections 40+ days. CTV knows this but is spreading misinfo
Because fake news
A better question is why isn’t Trudeau in cuffs?
Good question
Fear takes our media by Storm! What are you afraid of?
Rich people don't go to jail. They pay fines. Poor people go to jail, and get fines. Once the poor can't pay the fines, they spend more time in jail. That's the justice system in a nutshell.
But no comment on your spoiled boy...
Perhaps he's wearing potential cuffs ?
Law abiding tax paying citizens would like to know
Why isn’t CrimeMinister JustinTrudeau in cuffs?
Why isn't Trump in cuff's. It is because 2/3 of the world's population. Knows fake news influence pedlars are full of shit
Perhaps you could report on the crimes against humanity of Trudeau? Maybe start doing your job instead of being a Liberal mouth peice.
Why isn’t all government part of the maxwell list in cuffs?
Hahahaha who don’t love the world potential ?
Shameful that CTV fake news is cheering on political persecution while election interfereing in US
Why isn't Trudeau?
Potential doesn't mean conclusive.
Because they have no evidence
Why isn't the corrupt Biden regime in cuffs?
This lowlife has been getting away with lies and crimes all his life.
Don't you have something that matters to report?
Because potential crimes aren’t crimes. I can’t get a ticket for potentially speeding.
Why is the PM still in office after publicly calling Canadians misogynists and racists? 'They take up space. Do we tolerate these people?' 🙄🤡 TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustGoNow
Keep spewing your masters lies
CTV, reminder........your innocent until proven guilty.......Why push fake news?
Because it's all lies. Fake News media
Why isn’t Clinton, Bush or Biden in cuffs?
Harrassment101
Cause she should be fired for running her mouth at him for years which shows she's not impartial and it's political.
You've been parading this for 6 years. But I'm sure you've got him this time...
Why are you so obsessed with this? Nobody cares
Like all the other corrupt attempts to 'get Trump' this one too will fail. It will fail because there was no crime, there were no victims. The motive for this witch hunt isn't justice. Like all the others, it's purely political.
As a former President, he gets 24/7 protection from the US Secret Service for a number of years. They are not going to arrest him unless he is found guilty.
Why isn’t he in cuffs? Because we don’t arrest people for “potential” crimes. That isn’t even a real thing. Either it IS a crime, or it ISN’T. And they haven’t found a single thing to charge him with. Whether they THINK he committed crimes or not. That’s why he’s not in cuffs
Because we don't jail people because they might be guilty. The orange clown is not as harmful as the things you will do to America to get him
Piss off CTV News. You are just pure trash.
Same reason Hillary Clinton or Biden are not in cuffs same reason Trudeau is no in cuffs politicians are criminals with enough power to get away with crimes.
They are sure afraid of Trump. That should say all you need to know.
Cause it’s a witch hunt
Why isn’t Hunter Biden in hand cuffs?
Potential crimes? You jail people for potential crimes? But no mandatory jail time for cocaine pushers, as' they're misguided and just trying to make a living?' We are in the day where good is called evil and evil is called good.
Hey CTV what about your sugar daddy JustinTrudeau, he’s been convicted of crimes but he still Prime Minister of Canada. TrudeauMustGo
Lock him up! Lock him up!
because he has not done anything illegal
There’s a reason their witch hunting Trump. Americans should probably be more worried about why the democrats are so desperate to silence him.
Don't really care what nuthouse New York says. Or what you think about Trump. Deflection from Trudeau's failings is really getting pathetic. He babbles about food security & gives away $250M at the UN while telling our farmers to cut fertilizer by 30%.LiberalShill TrudeauMustGo
Because they are fake crimes. Do you honestly think any bank would take someone’s word without getting an independent appraisal? If they did, they deserve to lose money for sheer stupidity!
I have a better question for you: why is not Trudeau in cuffs, being a pedophile and a proven corrupt politician?
Because he hasn’t done anything wrong? Nobody has been investigated more.
When you guys work for govt nd take benefits tht time ask urself the same question
We arrest people for “potential” crimes now? Seek help for your Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Should be prosecuted for crimes against truth. Presstitutes TrudeauMustGo
Is this a joke? You committed Treason for years.
Canadians are wondering why Trudeau isn't in cuffs? Any ideas?
Why aren't you?
This is all for show!
Give it a rest
The Trumpino Family is going down. Soon he and his clam will do the walk of shame.
Innocent till proven guilty! Like every other person in US. Like him or hate Former President Trump, that's a fact Jack!
Because the loans are paid off. And like any loan application, the lender takes on the responsibility of verification of all applicants information.
Stop already
The question is: why isn’t Trudeau in cuffs?!?
What is the need to arrest him?
please for the love of god just stop. Stop the propaganda...nobody cares...you've been trying to pin this guy for 6 years...if your newspaper is that badly off try OnlyFans.
CTV: 'Why isn't Trump in cuffs' This isn't Canada where despot Trudeau simply orders a crackdown on his political opponents , they have due process.
Because they aren’t crimes, which is why she filed a civil lawsuit and not a criminal one. Witch-hunt continues. Left wants him in jail so bad, and it clearly won’t happen. Ever. A failure since 2016.. when will it end?
. AP is not law enforcement
Teflon Don!
