(NEW YORK) The New York Attorney General’s office has evolved its investigation into former President Donald Trump’s eponymous company to encompass potential crimes, a spokesperson for the AG’s office told ABC News.
The office has been investigating possible civil violations by the Trump Organization over the way the company valued holdings as it sought loans and tax benefits.
Now the investigation has entered a “criminal capacity,” the spokesperson said.
“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,” said Fabien Levy, a spokesman for New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Prosecutors from New York State and Manhattan District are working to have criminal investigation into the Trump Organization, according to media reports citing the spokesperson with the New York Attorney General Letitia James office.
