About this episode
A New York judge says former President Trump and his oldest sons are liable for fraud after providing false financial statements for roughly a decade. The judge's decision comes days before the former president and the New York attorney general's office is set to go to court for a civil trial. Trump has argued he didn't inflate the values of his golf courses, hotels and homes at Mar-a-Lago and Seven Springs on financial statements that were repeatedly used in business. Investigative reporter and Syracuse University law professor David Cay Johnston explains to AC360 what this means for the Trump Organization and if they can operate their businesses in New York state. Plus, Senate leaders have reached a bipartisan deal for a short-term spending bill to keep the government funded and avoid a shutdown. There's still no guarantee that it will pass in the Republican majority House, where there are deep divisions. Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill tells Anderson Cooper how confident she is that a government shutdown can be avoided.
