NY state seeks Eric Trump's testimony in probe of Trump Organization
Source: ABC News
New York State Attorney General Letitia James has called on a judge to compel Eric Trump to comply with a subpoena as part of the state's investigation into the Trump Organization's financial dealings.
The investigation stems from Congressional testimony by Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen who said the president's "annual financial statements inflated the values of Trump's assets to obtain favorable terms for loans and insurance coverage, while also deflating the value of other assets to reduce real estate taxes," James said in a statement.
The New York AG's office has been investigating the Trump Organization for over a year on various deals, including the attempted purchase of the Buffalo Bills, according to court papers. James said despite offering cooperation, the organization has not turned over key documents her office has sought in the investigation, and has instructed key witnesses, including Donald Trump's son Eric, to refuse to testify under oath despite subpoenas.
"[The Office of the Attorney General] brings this application to present to the Court various unfounded and overbroad privilege assertions relating to responsive documents and testimony," the AG's office said in its motion that was filed Friday.
