I took action to force the Trump Organization, and specifically EVP Eric Trump, to comply with my office’s ongoing investigation into its financial dealings.

For months, the Trump Organization has failed to fully comply with our subpoenas in this investigation.

NY AG James
@NewYorkStateAG
Our investigation began after Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Trump’s annual financial statements inflated the values of his assets to obtain favorable terms for loans & insurance coverage, while also deflating the value of other assets to reduce real estate taxes.

Replying to @NewYorkStateAG
We are seeking thousands of documents and testimony from multiple witnesses regarding several Trump Organization properties and transactions, including from Eric Trump, who was intimately involved in one or more transactions under review.

NY AG James
@NewYorkStateAG
The Trump Organization has stalled, withheld documents, and instructed witnesses, including Eric Trump, to refuse to answer questions under oath.

That's why we filed a motion to compel the Trump Organization to comply with our lawful subpoenas for documents and testimony.


NY AG James
@NewYorkStateAG
Nothing will stop us from following the facts and the law, wherever they may lead.

These questions will be answered and the truth will be uncovered, because no one is above the law.

discussions?

He is the Chief Financial Officer of Trump Organization and allegedly cooperated with investigators from very early on. It was big news, and then his name suddenly disappeared from the news? He was considered by many to be the Rosetta Stone of the Trump Organization.

1.) Runny, wet, impossible to pick up. Bring the hose.

2.) Dry, hard. Easily picked up with a bag or pooper scooper.

That's pretty much it. Does this help?

I think you have the basis for a pretty good essay there.

I would also try to work in the Trump family as supporting documentation.

As I understand it, an immunity deal means he has to tell investigators everything about everything he knows.

I suspect he's been saying a lot (behind the scenes) recently.

Donnie would sell each and every child, wife, mistress, sister, and friends to get more moolah, more power, more adulation.

She is saying eric trump and others are stonewalling/ignoring requests for information.

This gets their attention in hurry.

The nys enterprise corruption act uses obstruction as one of it's defining requisites. If they continue to defy requests after being warned, well, it carries a 25 year prison term and repayment of up to 2x the moneys gained illegally.

Not sure if they can also seize assetts associated with the enterprise, though that money is surely squirreled away overseas. In any case, they can go after trump tower and mar a lago for settlement.

The use “Twitter” is NOT more political than it is “cage rattling”...Prosecutors & especially the AG has plenty tools in their tool chest in which to “rattle one’s cage”.

...IDK, I’ve just never seen that done before I hope it works! Anything to get these scumbags brought to justice! And state charges would be better at this point than federal!👍🤞

I would have thought Eric would have been the last one (besides Tiffany) to get caught up in legal problems. He's just so dumb! You never know I guess. He's been trying so hard to suck up to his father.

A motion is just another opportunity for Trump Org to delay.

They'll probably get the Trump Org to comply sometime in 2022.

Four more Trumps and a Kushner to go. For a start, anyway. Then heads will really start rolling.

Eric is the weakest link. He's going to tell them everything without meaning to, because he's too stupid to outwit them. I wonder if that's why they nabbed him first?

Get the cuffs on Eric.....perp walk him to the police vehicle....mug shots....jail cell. He is an obvious flight risk, so keep him there until the trial.


Prosecutors must understand that Republicans in general (especially Trumps) are psychopaths on the level of El Chapo, John Gotti and must be treated as such.

They will....Lie, cheat, steal...Assault...Bribe...Extort, Blackmail, Defraud....and they have deep pockets.
