The office of New York's attorney general confirmed for the first time Monday that it had subpoenaed former U.S. president Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., demanding their testimony in an investigation into the family's business practices.
In a court filing, lawyers for Attorney General Letitia James said they are seeking the Trumps' testimony and documents as part of a yearslong civil probe involving matters including "the valuation of properties owned or controlled" by Trump and his company.
Monday's filing was the first public disclosure that investigators scrutinizing the former president's dealings were also seeking information from Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both trusted allies of their father who've been executives in his family's Trump Organization.
Last month, it was reported that James' office had requested Trump sit for a deposition.
James, a Democrat, has spent more than two years looking at whether the Trump Organization misled banks or tax officials about the value of assets -- inflating them to gain favorable loan terms or minimizing them to reap tax savings.
