“We follow the facts and the evidence wherever it leads, and no one is above the law,” James said last week at her lower Manhattan office. “Including powerful organizations such as the NRA. Including the most powerful individual in this country, the president of these United States. It’s really about the rule of law.”

Unlike similar subpoenas from Congress, which Trump and his children sued the bank to block, there has been no effort so far to quash the attorney general’s subpoenas, and the bank has begun turning over documents, James said. She hopes to review Trump’s tax returns as well.

“Trump has decades of complex and shady business deals that make for a target-rich environment,” said Eric Soufer, who was a senior counsel in the attorney general’s office before James took over.

The state’s financial fraud laws give the attorney general “incredible power” to demand documents and records, said Paul Nolette, a political science professor at Marquette University.
