Former President Donald Trump is facing a slew of investigations and court cases from several people. This week the New York Attorney General has announced a change in capacity regarding the investigation they are doing on the former president’s businesses.
The spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James, Fabien Levy said that James’ investigation into Trump was no longer a civil probe but a criminal one. Levy added that they are coordinating with the investigation on Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. With both agencies coordinating on the investigations into the former president, it suggests the high profile nature of the probes.
“We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the Organization is no longer purely civil in nature,” said Levy. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment.”
James’ probe into the Trump Organization seeks to look into the former president’s business dealings before taking office in 2017. The investigation sought to see if Trump purposely inflated the value of his assets and banks when he was seeking to get loans, and understating the values in order to get lower tax rates. James’ office is looking to obtain documents from four Trump Organization properties in Manhattan, upstate New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Vance’s probe into Trump has seen some progress this month when the Supreme Court granted them their subpoena to retrieve the former president’s financial documents and records. Vance’s investigation looks into the allegations of whether Trump’s financial records were falsified to cover up the hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels.
In other news, Trump’s eldest son Don Jr. was mocked by social media users after he shared his father’s denial of the allegations against him by the prosecutors. Don Jr. also blasted the change in the kind of investigation James’ office made towards the Trump Organization. Don Jr. accused the investigations of being politically motivated.
“Not everything is political, Jr. Perhaps don’t break the law and the types of things wouldn’t happen to you. It’s a pretty easy concept,” said one commenter.
“If you didn’t want to be the target of criminal investigations, you shouldn’t have engaged in shady or criminal activities,” said another.
