It’s not surprising that the adult members of the Trump family are lashing out at New York Attorney General Letitia James on social media today. James is investigating the Trump Organization, and it looks like they’re all implicated, according to a court filing late Tuesday. According to NBC News, James said the investigation uncovered evidence suggesting the Trump Organization put a fraudulent value on multiple assets and misrepresented those values to financial institutions for economic benefit.
James pointed to Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump in the court filing.
“Since 2017, Donald Trump, Jr. has had authority over numerous financial statements containing misleading asset valuations,” James wrote.
James wrote that Ivanka Trump, a former White House adviser, “was a primary contact for the Trump Organization’s largest lender, Deutsche Bank. In connection with this work, Ms. Trump caused misleading financial statements to be submitted to Deutsche Bank and the federal government.”

“Thus far in our investigation, we have uncovered significant evidence that suggests Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization falsely and fraudulently valued multiple assets and misrepresented those values to financial institutions for economic benefit,” James said in a statement Tuesday. “The Trumps must comply with our lawful subpoenas for documents and testimony because no one in this country can pick and choose if and how the law applies to them.”
Don Jr. took to Twitter to call for James’s disbarment.
America’s most corrupt AG won’t even directly respond to our motions about her political targeting of my family because she knows her actions are indefensible.
This is nothing more than political retribution from her on behalf of the entire Dem Party.
She should be disbarred! https://t.co/dMYEDHJrBd pic.twitter.com/yI1BYogXnf

James isn’t going to let go of this.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump have all been closely involved in the transactions in question, so we won’t tolerate their attempts to evade testifying in this investigation.

It was revealed today that Eric Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment with James’s office 500 times in six hours. Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg also invoked the Fifth Amendment to more than 500 questions. Trump’s team isn’t taking today’s news well, either. Tish James does not mess around.
