The New York Attorney General office launched an investigation into Trump Organization’s projects and a 2014 unsuccessful bid to acquire the Buffalo Bills, a team competing in the National Football League (NFL).
According to the New York Times, Attorney General Letitia James’ office issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank on Monday night.
State investigators requested Deutsche Bank to produce documents related to the financing of the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., the Trump National Doral in South Florida, and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. They also requested financial records related to the failed effort to buy the Buffalo Bills.
On the other hand, state investigators requested Investors Bank to provide financial records related to the Trump Park Avenue.
In a statement, Deutsche Bank said, “We remain committed to cooperating with authorized investigations.”
New York AG James vowed to investigate Trump’s business dealings
The latest investigation into President Donald Trump’s business transactions comes after the recent congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former longtime attorney and fixer. Last month, Cohen told lawmakers that Trump inflated the value of his assets in financial statements.
