Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined a coalition of 17 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief supporting New York’s authority to pursue a civil fraud case against Donald Trump and his business associates. The brief was filed in an appeal; the press release does not report a ruling, penalty, or remedy, and does not describe a privacy enforcement action.
This release describes a fraud-related amicus brief, not a privacy enforcement action, so it does not identify privacy clauses requiring revision. As a general contract review prompted by the allegations, review vendor and financing agreements for accurate financial and asset representations, disclosure obligations, audit or verification rights, and indemnification for fraud or material misrepresentation; review insurance agreements for accurate application disclosures. No customer or employee privacy-contract changes are indicated by this release.
