Letitia James seeks to force Trump, Donald Jr. and Ivanka to cooperate with probe

New York Attorney General Letitia James has taken legal action to force former President Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr. and Ivanka Trump to cooperate with her investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings.

James on Tuesday filed a motion seeking a court order to compel the three family members to appear for sworn testimony as required by subpoenas that have been issued to the Trumps by her office.

The attorney general’s action came in response to an earlier motion filed by Trump and the two children to quash the interviews with the AG’s office.

In 2019, James’ office opened up the investigation into the Trump Organization after former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen testified that Trump exaggerated the value of the companies’ assets to obtain better terms for loans and insurance policies.
