It looks like that hole former president Donald Trump keeps digging for himself is getting deeper. This is because it looks very much like Trump may well have lied in sworn court records. This could easily lead to severe sanctions by a New York judge who’s already angry at him, and this judge, in fact, has threatened to punish him before.

Trump has said he wasn’t the president of the Trump Organization during his time in the White House, even though he previously testified that he was an “inactive president.” And he has also asserted he didn’t have a financial stake as part of a partnership with the real estate company Vornado, even though he previously testified that he did, The Daily Beast reports.

Tuesday, the New York Attorney General’s Office asked Justice Arthur F. Engoron to intervene quickly, thus ensuring that Trump will face a trial later this year that could very well bankrupt his company.

After an exhaustive three-year investigation, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the Trump family and their real estate empire for at least $250 million last year. The investigation documented how the Trumps have regularly falsified property values in order to gain better bank loans and to cheat on taxes. And the civil lawsuit may have the chance to pull the company’s credentials, seize its bank accounts and block its access to any banks in New York City—the finance capital of the world.

The Trump family has pulled out all the stops to avoid the collapse of the company. Their first attempt was to try and disqualify James and prevent her from accessing company records. At that point, Judge Engoron threatened to sanction lawyers for their incessant and in some cases, ridiculous, legal arguments, and that finally forced the Trump family to respond to the Attorney General’s lawsuit with actual defenses.

That resulted in a legal document that was ridiculous, to say the least, as Trump attorney Alina Habba claimed there is formally no such thing as “the Trump Organization” — something that leaves you nearly speechless when you consider the fact that it’s a billion dollar company that Trump spent years building his reputation on.

James’s office also highlighted that Trump, in a separate case involving how his security guards beat up protesters in Manhattan, testified behind closed doors that during his time in the White House, “he was an inactive president and now I’m active again.” The testimony is a clear demonstration that Trump still manned the throne of the Trump Organization.

“Was there a period of time that you were not the president of the Trump Organization?” Benjamin Dictor, an attorney for the protester asked Trump.

“Well, I wasn’t active during the time I was at 1600,” the former president said. “I would say that I was an inactive president and now I’m active again.”

But court documents from last week tell a different story. In those documents, Trump swore that he “specifically denies the definition of ‘Trump Organization,'” and “each and every allegation” that purports he was ever the inactive president of the company during his time in the White House.

Trump signed the hefty, 300-page document right above an affirmation that the list of his responses is “true to the best of [his] own current knowledge.”

Lying in court documents could result in hefty fines and some serious legal problems. And in Tuesday’s filing, the attorney leading the case for James’s office asked the judge to pull the Trumps back into court again as punishment for this stunt, urging the judge not to give them a second chance.

“The Court has already admonished defendants and their counsel for their continued invocation of meritless legal claims but exercised its discretion in not imposing such sanctions, ‘having made its point.’ It does not appear that this point was taken, however, and [AG’s office] would ask the court to renew the issue,” wrote attorney Kevin Wallace.

Hopefully Judge Engoron will see fit to take this more seriously. It sounds like he will.
