(CNN) Federal prosecutors in New York are scrutinizing tens of thousands of documents relating to Donald Trump's inauguration in a sign that the investigation into the committee's finances is advancing. Rick Gates, who was deputy chairman of the inaugural committee, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy and lying to investigators about unrelated conduct. Wolkoff expressed concern in the recorded conversation about how the inaugural committee was spending money, The Wall Street Journal reported. In the three months since the subpoena was sent to the inaugural committee Zuberi has not heard from federal prosecutors in New York, his spokesman told CNN.
