Here's what we know about the various Trump investigations
CNN
The announcement by New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday night that her office's probe into The Trump Organization has evolved from a purely civil one to add a criminal investigation is a good reminder of the various legal entanglements facing former President Donald Trump as he works to keep control of the Republican Party and mulls a 2024 presidential re-run.
Although James' office didn't elaborate on what specifically led her office to make the investigation criminal, CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams offered this take on the move -- and what it has to do with the ongoing investigation into the Trump organization by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance -- in an interview on "New Day" Wednesday: "What it appears to be is that the A.G.'s office, in the course of investigating civil wrongs by the President, found something that just didn't look right and appeared to have some sort of criminal element to it and brought the D.A.'s office in. This allows them to pool resources, share information. And, in effect, helps both offices' investigations out."More Related News
