NEW YORK, Dec 10 — New York’s top justice official wants former US president Donald Trump to testify in an investigation into possible fraud in his namesake real estate group,State Attorney General Letitia James has asked Trump to testify in person at her office in the probe into whether the Trump Organization may have illegally reported false values on its properties, potentially to gain banking and tax advantages, according to thesaid, citing people familiar with the matter.

The former president is facing pressure from several legal probes. He was questioned for more than four hours on October 18 for a lawsuit by a group of protestors who allege that his security guards assaulted them six years ago. In July the Trump Organization and its long-serving finance chief, Allen Weisselberg pleaded not guilty in a New York court to 15 felony fraud and tax evasion charges.Trump meanwhile is battling to prevent years of his tax returns from being released to prosecutors.

There have been concerns that the New York investigations would lose momentum next year, after James declared plans to run for New York governor and the Manhattan prosecutor, Cyrus Vance, decided to step down at the end of this year.
