NY Att. Gen. subpoenas two banks over Trump Org. records

New York State is getting ready to take on the Trump Organization.

According to the New York Times, the attorney general, Letitia James issued subpoenas to Deutsche and Investors Bank for financing records of four major Trump Organization projects.

James’ probe all stemmed from Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony where he claimed that Trump inflated his assets in an effort to receive tax breaks.

And Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer gave copies of statements that he said were given to Deutsche Bank.

Now, the Times reports that the New York investigation is a civil matter, not a criminal case.

The four projects listed in the probe deal with the Trump International Hotel in DC, the Trump National Doral outside of Miami and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.

The investigation is also reportedly looking into Trump’s unsuccessful bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014.

The deal ultimately fell through when the team was sold to another bidder for $1.4 billion.

Since she was elected to the AG post, James has been fiercely critical of Trump, vowing to go after his family’s business transactions.

Reportedly saying quote, “the president of the United States has to worry about three things: Mueller, Cohen, and Tish James.”
