one of the interesting aspects of this we have now ivanka trump, donald trump jr. and now eric trump brought into this case as well they'll have their own legal strategies they'll have their own defense mechanisms and generationally a different time horizon for defending this sort of thing you could see penalties here against the former president of the united states including things like banning him from conducting business or taking out a loan in the state of new york a long process between now and then, of course, and the former president is likely to fight this in court. we do have a statement already now from the trump legal team. they're saying today's filing is neither focused on the facts nor the law. rather it's solely focused on advancing the attorney general's political agenda it's abundantly clear the attorney general's office has exceeded its statute of authority. so, john, this is a political figure who has escaped scrutiny on a number of occasions, the very highest level impeach in the united states senate, impeachment trials he's been able to prevai

. >> filing a lawsuit against former president donald trump, donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trump. >> documents don't lie, and documents don't forget. >> this is tough, tough stuff for the trump organization. there's no question, this is a dark day for them. >> dark and tough for them because of the exhaustive receipts. the lawsuit has over 200 fraudulent actions or misleading valuations. the penalties could go up to a quarter billion. trump and his children could be barred from doing business not only at the trump org but from running any new york company. that's one of the punishments that james is seeking. the family and organization could also not be allowed to get money anymore, to get liquidity, to get bank funding in new york, a big deal. trump has always said he's a deal maker, and let's be clear. he convinced a lot of people with understandable props, actions, funds, support from the banks, at times the new york legal and governmental community, really largely looking the other way, and by the way, that includes a lot of registered democrats in new york who fill out

as executive vice presidents of the trump organization, donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trumpnowingly participated in the scheme, indeed the fraudulent scheme was integral to the business of the trump organization and required the participation of trump and his children as well. joining me now is msnbc news correspondent tom winter. and an msnbc contributor. let me start you with and kind of give us the broad strike if you will, for the children's involvement in this suit. >> well, i mean they are tied definitely to this because they have had an active role in the business, and just to pick up on an interesting conversation you were just having, as far as the long term impacts on the trump organization, the banks that currently hold the loans now, they might decide, you know what, we're going to keep going with this, we have a lawsuit and we like the terms of it and keep going from there, and they may have covenants in those agreements that they may have to come back to the trumps and do something different with the loans, but going forward, i think, and this is important, as
