New York: The New York State Attorney General tried to question two adult children Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
and Ivanka Trump, as part of the civil probe into business practices and the US president’s name.
The court to Trump from the Attorney General’s Office Lingitia James was disclosed in submission Monday with the New York District Court in Manhattan.
Trump’s organization and the Trump family planned to ask the judge to block James’s lawyer to question Trump or their father, who also paralyzed, said the archiving.
Lawyers for companies and Trump are not immediately available to comment.
Eric Trump, executive vice president at Trump organizations and also a son Donald Trump, was questioned by the James office in October 2020.
Ivanka Trump, who has worked for Trump’s organization before his father was elected president in 2016, served in the White House as a senior advisor.
His brother Donald Jr.
remained with a family business, but also fought for his father’s presidency.
The court reflects the escalation of James’s probe which is almost three years into whether Trump organizations cheatly increase the values ​​of ownership of real estate to obtain bank loans, and reduce their values ​​to reduce their tax bill.
Probe James has focused on the property 35A including Seven Springs Estate in the Westchester County Suburban, New York, and Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.
This is related to but separate from the criminal probe by the Manhattan District lawyer office, and where James joined last May, into the practice of Trump’s business organization.
The criminal probe was supervised by Alvin Bragg, which was appointed on Saturday as a district lawyer to replace Cyrus Vance, who led the office for 12 years and from whom he inherited the probe.
Bragg told CNN last month that he planned to be involved personally in this case, and wanted a top lawyer from his office to stay on.
Last month, Trump sued James in the Federal Court in Albany, the state capital, to prevent his civilian probe, accusing partisan political Democrats.
