New York Attorney General Letitia James recently issued subpoenas for former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children in connection with an ongoing civil investigation into the family’s business practices.
The office of New York’s attorney general (OAG) recently issued subpoenas to Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. for testimony and documents “in connection with an investigation into the valuation of properties owned or controlled by Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization, or any matter which the Attorney General deems pertinent thereto,” according to a filing made public Monday.
That criterion includes whereas “a dispute has arisen between the OAG and the Individual Trump Parties regarding the Subpoenas,” “the Subpoenas to the Individual Trump Parties arise from the same ongoing investigation and facts alleged in the Verified Petition,” and “the Verified Petition asked this Court to grant ‘such other and further relief as is just and proper.’”
Weisselberg pleaded not guilty to charges alleging he and the company evaded taxes on lucrative fringe benefits paid to executives.
Monday’s court filing was the attorney general office’s first public acknowledgment that it has previously subpoenaed Trump’s testimony.
