New York Prosecutors Begin a Criminal Investigation Into the Trump Organization
New York prosecutors said Tuesday they are now investigating the Trump Organization in a “criminal capacity” as well as a “civil capacity,” ramping up pressure on the former president’s personal business.
“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. We have no additional comment at this time,” Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for the New York attorney general’s office, said in a statement.
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has been investigating the Trump Organization since 2019 over the company’s sprawling finances.
