Former President Trump on a recent visit to New York. Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating whether the Trump Organization falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits. "We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature," Fabien Levy, a spokesman for the attorney general's office, said in a statement. "We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA," he said. The Trump Organization could not immediately be reached for comment.
