The key thing here is this new information demonstrates that Trump and his family are personally implicated in this fraud, the source familiar with the investigation said.
The attorney general has accused Trump, his family, and company of stonewalling throughout her investigation. Her lawsuit against the organization, which was filed in August 2020, accused the company of stalling and instructing witnesses including the presidents son, Eric Trump not to cooperate. Eric, who helped lead the Trump Organization while his father was in the White House, ultimately answered questions from James investigators during a video deposition in October 2020. Don Jr. and Eric did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
In the 2020 lawsuit, James office indicated the investigation was focused on the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles, Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago, the 40 Wall Street office tower in Manhattan, and Seven Springs a sprawling approximately 200 acre estate in New Yorks suburban Westchester County that was purchased by the Trump Organization in 1995. At the time, there was some reporting that the attorney general was interested in other properties including Trump Tower. The motion filed by James office on Tuesday identified several other assets that may have been involved in alleged financial improprieties including Trumps triplex, his golf course in Scotland, and the value of his personal brand. According to the statement released by James office, the value of Trumps apartment was, at one point, overstated by about $200 million based on false calculations of its size.
The valuations of Mr. Trumps triplex apartment in Trump Tower since at least 2012 were based on the assertion that the triplex apartment was 30,000 square feet in size, the statement said. However, the actual size of Mr. Trumps triplex apartment was 10,996 square feet, and documents confirming that fact were signed by Mr. Trump himself in 2012.

He inflated the size of his apartment to increase it's value as loan collateral. The banks were willing to loan him more when they thought his property was worth more that it is. He deflates the size in order to reduce his property taxes. Other than that, it's all just his malignant narcissism. Everything about him has to be bigger and better than everyone else.

Many people have said it's the biggest apartment ever built.

According to the statement released by James office, the value of Trumps apartment was, at one point, overstated by about $200 million based on false calculations of its size.
$200 million ÷ 30,000 sq. ft. = $6,666 per square foot.
So, I found this:
thats three times more space than youd get for the same amount of money in SoHo, the citys most expensive neighborhood, where the median price per square foot is $2,023.
Not only is the square footage falsified, but the value per unit area is 3.2x the median.
That seems hard to believe, too.
