New York Attorney General Letitia James promised to open a wide-ranging investigation into Trump, his family and associates who may have violated the law.
During an interview with NBC News in December, James said, “We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well. We want to investigate anyone in his orbit who has, in fact, violated the law.”
Last year, James’ predecessor, former New York Attorney Barbara Underwood investigated the Trump Foundation for allegedly committing a pattern of persistent illegal conduct. The probe led to the Foundation’s dissolution under judicial supervision.
Trump claimed that the New York Attorney General’s office is treating him unfairly and he is a victim of a “total double standard of justice.”
