What Trump has to worry about now (opinion)
Donald Trump hears the footsteps of law enforcement getting closer, and he's not happy. He has posted a bitter 900-word rant -- one of the longest statements he's issued since leaving office -- aimed at New York Attorney General Letitia James. It offers a revealing look at Trump's growing legal troubles, now that a long-running investigation into the Trump Organization by James's office has ratcheted up and may now include the possibility of criminal charges.
"There is nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime," Trump wrote on his website. "But, make no mistake, that is exactly what is happening here. The Attorney General of New York literally campaigned on prosecuting Donald Trump even before she knew anything about me. She said that if elected, she would use her office to look into 'every aspect' of my real estate dealings."
A spokesperson for James told CNN: "We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan D.A."
We don't know exactly what James is investigating; it's unusual for a prosecutor to announce the possibility of criminal charges in this fashion. She could be sending a signal to witnesses and potential cooperators that things are about to get serious. Or she could simply be reacting to information that was leaked to the media.
