The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Tuesday that it has informed the Trump Organization that its investigation into the business "Is no longer purely civil in nature" and now has a "Criminal capacity."
"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA," Fabien Levy, a spokesman for James, told the Washington Examiner.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Vance's office and the Trump Organization for comment about the announcement from the New York attorney general's office.
MUELLER PROSECUTOR SAYS 'FLIPPING' TRUMP ORGANIZATION CFO KEY TO CRIMINAL CASE. The state's investigation into the Trump Organization stretches back to at least August 2020 when James announced that she was seeking a court order to require the Trump Organization and associated parties, including former President Donald Trump's son, Eric, to comply with subpoenas issued by the office of attorney general.
Judge Arthur Engoron of the New York County State Supreme Court ruled in December that the New York attorney general's office should be given access to certain Trump Organization documents, and James celebrated then, saying, "Once again, justice and the rule of law prevailed. We will immediately move to ensure that the Trump Organization complies with the court's order and submits records related to our investigation. My office's ongoing investigation will continue, as we continue to follow the facts wherever they may lead.".
The U.S. Supreme Court said in its July 9 ruling in Trump v. Vance that Trump must let New York look at his tax returns as part of Vance's own criminal investigation into the former president.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that New York prosecutors subpoenaed a Manhattan private school as Vance tries to secure the cooperation of Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg in his inquiry into Trump and his company.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
