Former President Donald Trump relied on a Forbes article to “prove” his net worth when placing a bid to buy the NFL's Buffalo Bills – a decade-old business move that came under scrutiny during his New York civil fraud trial on Tuesday.
K. Don Cornwell of Morgan Stanley testified in court that Trump distributed printouts from Forbes regarding the highest-paid entertainers to affirm his financial standing to Buffalo Bills executives after claiming a net worth of over $8 billion in an offer letter. The former president refused to disclose financial statements to bankers involved in his $1 billion bid for the football team in 2014.
