Letitia James

New York Attorney General Letitia James warned President Donald Trump and his children that she intends to pursue swift action to compel their testimony or hold them in contempt. The statement made it clear that if the Trump family thinks they can get away without testifying in the Trump Organization fraud case, they are sadly mistaken.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow brought up the legal problems that Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump are facing.

On Monday, former First Lady Melania Trump took to Twitter to promote the 13th anniversary of the creation of Bitcoin, crowing about the trillion-dollar market capitalization of the digital currency.

This comes after former President Donald Trump has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued subpoenas for Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump as part of a fraud investigation involving the Trump Organization.

The investigation is probing the financial dealings into whether former President Donald Trump artificially inflated assets to score loans from banks and then deflated his assets to pay less in taxes.

Donald Trump's two eldest children have refused to comply with subpoenas issued by the New York attorney general's office in a fraud investigation of their family-owned business.

New York attorney general Letitia James called for Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. to testify as part of an ongoing civil investigation into the Trump Organization's business practices, but the pair will file motions to quash the subpoenas, reported ABC News.

The New York attorney general's office is seeking to question Donald Trump's two eldest children.

"The involvement of the children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, was disclosed in a court document filed on Monday as the Trump Organization sought to block lawyers for the attorney general, Letitia James, from questioning the former president and his children," The New York Times reported Monday.

Former President Donald J. Trump has remained a pillar in the Republican Party one year after leaving office in disgrace and despite facing multiple investigations, including his participation in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, alleged business fraud and sexual assault cases.

David Farenthold, who covers the Trump family and their businesses for The Washington Post, joined Amna Nawaz on PBS' NewsHour to discuss why Republicans are footing the bill for Trump's legal woes - and what is means for the country.

In a column for MSNBC, contributor Jessica Levinson claimed that Donald Trump's latest lawsuit, this one filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James, will likely crash and burn thereby extending his streak of legal maneuvers that have been slapped aside by the courts.

As Levinson notes, Trump has been a study in perseverance, continuing to file lawsuits since he was unceremoniously booted from the Oval Office over a year ago -- few of which have succeeded other than working as stalling tactics as he battles multiple investigations in New York City, by the state of New York, the Justice Department and a House committee looking into the Jan 6th insurrection.

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. will leave office without indicting Donald Trump, but the investigation into the former president's businesses will continue under his successor, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Vance, the son of Jimmy Carter's secretary of state, Cyrus Vance, served three terms as DA, but did not seek re-election in 2021. His term expires on Jan. 1, when former federal prosecutor Alvin Bragg will be sworn-in.

Donald Trump called on the House select committee to investigate his debunked election conspiracy theories in a new rant as the probe moves ever closer to his inner circle.

The panel has asked Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), who's seen as a conduit between House Republicans and the Trump White House, to turn over documents and sit for an interview, and the twice-impeached one-term president issued a new statement insisting the 2020 election had been stolen from him.

David Cay Johnston, who wrote a biography of former President Donald Trump, alleged during an MSNBC appearance Monday that all of Trump's desperate legal filings simply reek of emotional desperation instead of logical legal arguments.

"I think Letitia James' office will have to fight to get Donald to come and testify particularly because at some point you'll see the lawyer raise the bootstrapping argument," he said while discussing Trump's lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James. "Donald is reduced to lawyers who are not well known but certainly know how to channel in their pleading his emotional fury at things going against him. The lawsuit itself just reeks of emotional rather than legal argument. That is how Donald works and it is not going to work with any judge."

On CNN Monday, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe weighed in on former President Donald Trump's new lawsuit aimed at blocking New York Attorney General Letitia James' criminal investigation into his businesses, on the grounds that the prosecution is politically motivated.

"We know President Trump is litigious," said anchor Wolf Blitzer. "Does this new suit, from your perspective, have any merit?"

Attorney George Conway on Monday bashed former President Donald Trump for filing a lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James in a bid to stop her probe into his potentially fraudulent business practices.

Writing on Twitter, Conway responded to one of his followers who asked him to comment on whether the Trump lawsuit is one of "the dumbest and most desperate" lawsuits ever filed.

Donald Trump has issued his own statement after New York's attorney general Letitia James responded to his lawsuit.

The twice-impeached one-term president sued James claiming her investigation into alleged fraud inside the Trump Organization violated his civil rights, and he then issued a statement after the attorney general made clear the target of an investigation could not "dictate" how and where they would be held accountable.
