Trump under yet another criminal probe — this time for his Westchester golf course: report
Donald Trump is facing yet another criminal investigation, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
"In recent months, the district attorney's office in suburban Westchester County, N.Y., has subpoenaed records from the course, Trump National Golf Club Westchester, and the town of Ossining, which sets property taxes on the course, a sprawling private club that is perched on a hill north of New York City and boasts a 101-foot waterfall," the newspaper reported.
In November, former MSNBC legal analyst Mimi Rocah was elected Westchester district attorney. The newspaper reported Rocah "appears to be focused at least in part on whether Mr. Trump's company, the Trump Organization, misled local officials about the property's value to reduce its taxes, one of the people said."
Trump is also under investigation by state Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr.
"Ms. Rocah, a Democrat, has not accused anyone at the company of wrongdoing, and it is unclear whether the investigation is examining Mr. Trump's conduct or if it would ultimately lead to any charges," The Times reported. "Still, the Westchester inquiry intensifies the law enforcement scrutiny on Mr. Trump and his family business. Both have been the subject of a long-running criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office, which is examining a range of potential financial and tax improprieties."
