New York's attorney general has issued subpoenas to former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children in connection with an ongoing civil investigation into the family's business practices.
NEW YORK -- New York's attorney general recently subpoenaed former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., demanding their testimony in connection with a civil investigation into the family's business practices, according to a court filing made public Monday.
James, a Democrat, has spent more than two years looking at whether the Trump Organization misled banks or tax officials about the value of assets - inflating them to gain favorable loan terms or minimizing them to reap tax savings. Monday's filing was also the first public disclosure that investigators were seeking information from Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. as part of the probe. It was reported last month that James had requested that Donald Trump sit for a deposition, but Monday's court filing was the first public acknowledgement by her office that it had subpoenaed him.
James' investigators last year interviewed Eric Trump, a Trump Organization executive, as part of the probe. James' office went to court to enforce a subpoena on the younger Trump and a judge forced him to testify after his lawyers abruptly canceled a previously scheduled deposition. Before he left office last week, Vance convened a new grand jury to hear evidence in the investigation, but left the decision on additional charges to his successor, Alvin Bragg. The new district attorney has said he'll be directly involved in the Trump matter while also retaining the two veteran prosecutors who led the case under Vance.
