Prosecutors have recently interviewed employees of President Trumps lender and insurance brokerage, in the latest indication that he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges once he leaves office. State prosecutors in Manhattan have interviewed several employees of President Trumps bank and insurance broker in recent weeks, according to people with knowledge of the matter, significantly escalating an investigation into the president that he is powerless to stop.
The interviews with people who work for the lender, Deutsche Bank, and the insurance brokerage, Aon, are the latest indication that once Mr. Trump leaves office, he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges that would be beyond the reach of federal pardons.
Employees of Deutsche Bank and Aon, two corporate giants, could be important witnesses. As two of Mr. Trumps oldest allies and some of the only mainstream companies willing to do regular business with him they might offer investigators a rich vein of information about the Trump Organization.
The prosecutors interviews with the employees were not the only recent activity in the investigation. Last month, The Times reported that Mr. Vances office had subpoenaed the Trump Organization for records related to tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees, some of which appear to have gone to the presidents daughter Ivanka Trump.
