- President Donald Trump and his children are accused of "deliberately" scamming Americans by encouraging them to invest in a multilevel-marketing company.
- The lawsuit also names Trump's children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, of luring vulnerable investors to buy into three businesses with "a pattern of racketeering activity."
- Trump was reportedly paid millions of dollars in secret, in exchange for promoting one of the companies named in the lawsuit.
- The complaint alleges the Trumps "were aware that the vast majority of consumers would lose whatever money they invested."
- Trump Organization officials questioned the timing of the lawsuit, which was filed days before the November 6 midterm election.
