**New York Attorney General Accuses Trump Org. of Financial Fraud**
**Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed testimony from the Trump family.**
Yesterday, Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, filed a court document accusing the Trump Organization of providing misleading information and withholding information in their official tax documents and financial statements. This behavior was allegedly done to secure tax breaks and loans.
The Attorney General’s office stated in the filing that it plans to identify who is responsible for these misleading actions. They emphasized the need for testimony and evidence to determine which individuals within the Trump Organization, including employees, affiliates, and other entities, might have assisted in or have knowledge of the inaccuracies in the financial documents.
According to the investigators, some individuals within the Trump Organization have invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, while others claim to have faulty memories or suggest that they were following instructions from higher-ranking colleagues.
Attorney General James mentioned that her office has gathered substantial evidence in their case against the Trump Organization. She also highlighted the increased scrutiny on Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr.
In a separate statement, Attorney General James criticized the Trump Organization for using delaying tactics and legal strategies to impede the investigation into their financial practices. She revealed that the investigation has uncovered evidence suggesting that Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization improperly valued assets and misrepresented those valuations to financial institutions for personal gain.
James emphasized that everyone should be held accountable under the law, stating that they will persist in their investigation to ensure that no individual is exempt from legal consequences.
