Revelations in New York court underscore Trump's legal peril on multiple fronts
In a push to compel the testimony of former President Donald Trump and two of his children, New York Attorney General Letitia James disclosed a potential game changer late Tuesday in a widening civil investigation of the Trump family business.
State investigators, the attorney general asserted, have "collected significant additional evidence indicating that the Trump Organization used fraudulent or misleading asset valuations to obtain a host of economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions."
The state investigation and a parallel criminal probe by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office are two of the legal battles shadowing the former president. The New York court filing, which the company dismissed as a long-simmering political vendetta, underscored an expanding legal firestorm inching closer to the Trump business and the former president himself.
Beyond New York, Georgia authorities have been building on a months-long criminal investigation into Trump's alleged attempts to interfere in the state presidential vote count. In Washington, a special House committee signaled that it is examining whether Trump's failure to call off a mob of supporters who assaulted the Capitol amounts to criminal conduct that should be referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.

New York Attorney General Claims She Has Evidence of Fraud by Trump, Don Jr. and Ivanka
New York Attorney General Letitia James is increasing pressure on former President Donald Trump and his children to cooperate in an investigation into the Trump Organization's finances, as the family says the probe is baseless.
In a statement issued Tuesday, James' office said it filed paperwork to request a judge to force Trump, 75, his son Donald Trump Jr., 44, and daughter Ivanka Trump, 40, to testify.
The former president's adult children previously asked a judge to quash what they called an "unprecedented and unconstitutional" bid for their testimony after being subpoenaed in December.
The attorney general's office also claimed Tuesday it has evidence of "fraudulent or misleading asset valuations" used by the Trumps to secure loans, insurance coverage and tax deductions.
