The investigation into allegations that the Trump Organization falsely reported property values to secure loans and reap tax benefits has moved from a civil probe to a criminal investigation.

The New York Attorney-General's office says it has opened a criminal investigation into US former president Donald Trump's company, going beyond what began as a civil probe.Investigators have been probing whether the company falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain benefits

"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organisation is no longer purely civil in nature," spokesman for the Attorney-General's office Fabien Levy said in a statement. Ms James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization inflated the values of some properties to obtain better loans, and lowered their values to get property tax breaks.

Mr Vance's office has said in court filings it was investigating "possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct" at the former president's Trump Organization, including tax and insurance fraud and falsification of business records.

Trump's Big Lie the election was stolen was to avoid this investigation he regret coming to him at the end of his 4-year term.

Watch this quickly get covered over

Vendetta impersonating justice - there's 'improperly inflated value' for you. Better if all the effort put into this multiyear.criminal investigation centered on this country's most profitable companies paying nothing in taxes. Or does it still count if they're 'progressive'?

Complete and utter waste of time, they'll all be dead by the time anyone reaches a verdict.

Loving the bisexual lighting in this one

The southern district law office is full of Trump haters and in America their legal entities can incite a ham sandwich. They will hen peck him but crooks like Hillary and biden along with others dance free.

Be still my beating heart....💗💗💗

So many pressed Tweets being like 'why go after Trump, look at all this shady shit Biden is doing!' like it somehow exonerates him. You know, who cares about the dozens and dozens of criminal actions committed by Trump/his team, because F*CK BIDEN. Good grief.

Gosh. A democrat in a position of power seeks to use that position to attack Trump. This is unprecedented.
