Speaking of actionable...

A new lawsuit filed in federal court Monday accuses President Donald Trump and his children of convincing consumers to invest in get-rich-quick schemes, while also accepting “large, secret payments” from the companies they were pitching.

[...]

“This case is about four working-class Americans, and thousands more just like them, who were deliberately defrauded by Donald J. Trump, his family, and the corporation that bears their name," the legal filing states.

[...]

According to the lawsuit, which was first reported by the New York Times, the Trumps were paid to pitch prospective investors on behalf of three companies that they said would likely offer commercial success. "The Message was materially false. The Investments did not — and could not — offer a reasonable probability of success," the lawsuit states.

[...]

Trump and his companies have been accused of fraud in the past. In November 2016, he agreed to pay $25 million to settle lawsuits against Trump University.

I don't know how successful this will be, but it's just one more lawsuit against this president.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
