BREAKING: New York’s Attorney General Announces Trump Organization Under ‘Criminal’ Investigation

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced late on Tuesday night that her office is no longer pursuing just a civil case against the Trump Organization and that the matter has now evolved into an active “criminal” investigation.

“James’ office is working with Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s Office, whose wide-sweeping probe into the Trump Organization has looked into whether the company misled lenders and insurance companies about the value of properties and whether it paid the appropriate taxes,” CNN reported. “For the past two years, James’ office looked into matters including whether or not it improperly inflated assets on financial statements to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits, as well as how Trump Organization employees were compensated.”

James’ office confirmed in a statement that its investigation into the Trump Organization was now criminal in nature.

“We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the Organization is no longer purely civil in nature,” James’ office said in a statement. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment.”
