Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

Attorney’s office ahead of a scheduled March 14 pre-trial hearing. “This includes covering the time stamp and then changing the video sequence,” the correspondence adds. “It also includes speeding up the video to make it falsely appear that the actions in the video are taking place faster than they are.
As a result, the CNN videos do not fairly and accurately depict the events in question.” The CNN claims are clearly not from the prosecutors in the otherwise mainly administrative-centric letter.
