New York Regulator Investigating Trump Organization Insurance Broker

New York State regulators are investigating a long-time insurance broker for the Trump Organization, according to the New York Times based on information from people familiar with the investigation.

On Monday night, the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) issued a subpoena to Aon, one of the largest insurance brokerage firms worldwide.

A person briefed on the matter told the newspaper that the regulator demanded material documents regarding its business with the Trump organization since 2009.

The DFS’ action comes after Michael Cohen, the former fixer and personal lawyer of President Donald Trump revealed during the recent congressional hearing that the Trump Organization overestimated the value of its assets to insurers.

In a statement to CNBC, Aon confirmed that it received a subpoena from the New York State regulator.
