The Trump’s Issue
The New York State attorney general’s office, which subpoenaed Donald J. Trump last month as part of a civil probe into his business activities, is now seeking to question two of his adult children, the court issued a document on Monday.
The lawsuit stemmed from a disagreement between members of the Trump family and investigators over their testimony in the case. Furthermore, the participation of Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, the former president’s children, was exposed in court records filed on Monday as the Trump Organization sought to block Letitia James’ lawyers from questioning the former president and his children.
In early January, the attorney general’s office sought to interrogate Donald Trump under oath, despite the former president’s counsel filing a federal lawsuit in December to stop the investigation and protect him from having to testify.
The former President Trump has slammed Attorney General Letitia James’ integrity and the inquiry she is leading, accusing her of being driven by personal animosity and political aspirations. The defense attorney of Trump Alina Habba said in a statement that Letitia James is the single most unethical Attorney General this nation has ever seen. The manner she has militarized her position via her political witch hunt defies all prosecutorial principles and infringes on fundamental constitutional liberties
The Fraud Investigation Remains Unknown
The exact scope of James’ fraud investigation remains unknown, but her investigators have been collaborating with a parallel criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has been looking into allegations of business, insurance, bank, and tax fraud and has been led by Cyrus Vance Jr. until recently.
The attorney general’s office stated that it is seeking sworn testimony from Trump and that it would fight any efforts to get the subpoenas thrown out. spokeswoman Fabien Levy said, “Despite the Trump Organization’s repeated efforts to stall our inquiry, we are certain that our inquiries will be addressed and the truth will be revealed because no one is above the law,”.
