The U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York is reportedly already carrying out a series of probes related to the president, including efforts focused on Trump's inaugural committee.
Trump and his allies are well aware of the investigations and the dangers of the New York prosecutors.
Documents from the federal raids on former Trump attorney released Tuesday indicated that federal prosecutors in New York are probing a potential campaign finance violation.
The New York Times also reported Saturday that the Manhattan attorney's office is conducting several investigations tied to the president, including one into his inaugural committee and two others linked to former Trump campaign chair.
Mimi Rocah, a former assistant U.S. attorney for SDNY, said those figures could still face charges from other parts of DOJ. She said that because some figures like Trump Jr. never interviewed with Mueller before the investigation concluded, those individuals could be targets of an investigation rather than just witnesses.
The New York attorney general has personally targeted Trump before.
"New York is his homebase and it's where his corporation and foundation are," Wine-Banks said of Trump, noting that the state and SDNY could also attempt to claim jurisdiction over the Trump inaugural committee and transition teams over their New York ties.
