Eldest Trump children won't comply with subpoenas from New York attorney general

[demmiblue]

Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump are now respondents in the civil case.

Former President Trump’s eldest son and daughter have refused to comply with subpoenas issued by the New York State attorney general’s office as it conducts a civil investigation into the way the family real estate business valued its holdings.

“A dispute has arisen between the OAG and the Individual Trump Parties regarding the Subpoenas,” a document filed Monday said.

The document, filed jointly by New York Attorney General Letitia James and an attorney for the Trump Organization, said Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump will now be named as respondents in James’ ongoing inquiry, which parallels a criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

1. Not Surprised

They are trying to run down the clock

3. What clock? This is a state law suit.

Ivanka and Jr. will be deposed, take that to the bank.

8. I tend to agree with your prediction. Tish James is loaded for bear

[JustAnotherGen]

13. It's a civil case

And D.A. Bragg already did the Trump Family's charity in. He needs James to move asap on the disobedience of subpoena law in NY Civil Cases.

10. I'll take it to the bank

But they are up to something. Don't forget - the Trumps are the Trumps.

It's also a Civil Law Suit. The information obtained would be necessary for D.A. Bragg's team to complete their work - which in NY State has a statute of limitations of 5 years.

Also - Bragg is the attorney who got the Trump charity shut down - so there's that. Meg Reiss is his Deputy, and per Bragg himself:

"deep expertise in white collar enforcement, including having led investigations of major financial institutions concerning violations of key areas of enforcement for Manhattan, including money laundering, antitrust and securities.”

My opinion - all of these cases intertwine. They have dependencies on and feed into each other. My concern is the Criminal Investigation with teeth - Bragg's.

ETA - NY Law on Disobedience Subpoena. 90 day intervals.

15. 2 things,

1. Tish already got the dumb Trump, Eric, to testify. I'm guessing that Ivanka's and Jr.'s testimony better match.
2. Wasn't it Vance who brought on the tough as nails financial prosecutor, Pomerance (sp) he has quite the reputation.

Would be nice to get someone like Weisselberg to flip.

OK

3. In the civil case Tish doesn't have to prove intent, a much lower bar than the criminal case.

2. LOCK 'EM UP!!

They need to be arrested a.s.a.p.

6. 👆Immediately

[abqtommy]

4. Dang, I'm running low on popcorn! Hey, you Spawn Of TFG: There's a reason why the

Attorney General and the District Attorney have the authority to issue subpoenas and
you don't. You do know that Daddy can't pardon you now, right?

[lastlib]

5. So special, so above the law......

Keep on thinking that, Sparklebaby; see where it gets ya.

[duforsure]

7. The Committee should request courts start fast tracking all these cases

To send the trumps a message .

[They_Live]

12. agree

it's a matter of National Security.

[GoCubsGo]

14. They can't. This is the State of New York's subpoenas.

The Committee has no jurisdiction in state affairs. I'm sure Letitia James will respond to the Trumps' games appropriately.

9. So these people think a subpoena is an invitation?

Something they can just accept or refuse? I wonder if the Trumpkins noticed there was no RSVP on the bottom of the subpoena.

[gab13by13]

16. OMG you made me do a belly laugh,

time to ride my bike now.

Post of the day for me.

[PatSeg]

19. Nothing better than a good belly laugh!

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I bet they don't RSVP to invitations either.

[PatSeg]

21. You know, they probably don't

They are so entitled, they figure the host is lucky if they happen to show up.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Exactly.

"Politeness is for the little people, not us!"

[PatSeg]

23. Yes

They expect people to show courtesy to them, but are unlikely to reciprocate. They think they are royalty.

[twodogsbarking]

11. This should be good. Stay tuned.

17. New York attorney general asks court to enforce subpoenas of Trump children in tax fraud probe

This will be fun to watch

Link to tweet

New York Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. as part of her civil tax fraud investigation into the Trump Organization, court filings made public Monday reveal.

James's office "recently" filed subpoenas seeking testimony and documents from former President Donald Trump's children "in connection with an investigation into the valuation of properties owned or controlled by Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization,” according to a New York Supreme Court order unsealed Monday and first reported by The New York Times.

James is also seeking to depose the former president as part of the probe. Trump has called James' investigation "corrupt" and a "witch hunt." The filing shows that Trump and his children are all challenging the subpoenas.

The judge signed off on a Dec. 30 stipulation which will allow the Trumps to file a motion to quash the subpoenas and for the attorney general to respond with a timetable for the judge to review the filings.

Everyone in this criminal family thinks they are miles above the law.
