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.

I worry it is not set up to deal with this.

2. INNOCENT? No. TFG has EVERYTHING to hide.

Projecting again, Donny?

Michael Cohen and Allen Weisselberg know where the bodies are buried. It is a matter of time for Weisselberg.

6. Civil Fraud Tax Investigation

Which also ties to the Criminal Case under Alvin Bragg. This is going to be very interesting.

From the article:

James' office is looking into whether to file a civil suit against the company and has also been assisting a criminal investigation headed by the Manhattan district attorney into alleged tax fraud schemes at Trump's company.

7. Good news. This time they don't have the cover of Cy Vance.
