The New York attorney general s office and the Manhattan district attorney s office are investigating Allen Weisselberg.
Investigators are aiming to find leverage against the longtime Trump aide, CNN reported.
Prosecutors attempts to sway Weisselberg could ramp up legal pressure on Trump and his family.
Both the New York attorney general s office and the Manhattan district attorney s office are looking into the taxes and personal finances of Allen Weisselberg, a top Trump Organization officer, in an attempt to find leverage that could convince the longtime Trump employee to cooperate with authorities, according to a new CNN report.
WHO IS INVESTIGATING TRUMP?
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., both Democrats, have been running parallel investigations into Trump and his businesses for more than two years.
Vance’s office has been investigating whether the Republican ex-president, his company or people connected to them committed crimes relating to matters including hush-money payments for women who say they slept with Trump, property valuations and employee compensation.
James’ probe began as a civil matter, looking at possible violations of state laws punishable with penalties such as fines, and centered on some of the same issues. Her investigation now also pertains to possible criminal conduct.
