NEW YORK â Former President Donald Trump is facing a rare combination of forces by two New York prosecutors, a development that indicates criminal charges may be looming closer, legal experts said.
The announcement late Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James that her civil probe of asset valuations by Trump and his real estate company now has a criminal component and is being coordinated with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance amounts to a âshow of strengthâ by the two prosecutors, said Bennett Gershman, a law professor at Pace University.
âI think it means weâre closer to the completion of the investigation,â said Gershman. âI think it means there very likely may be criminal charges. Why say something like this if youâre just puffing?â
