New York AG says Trump Supreme Court tax ruling won't affect her probe of company

New York Attorney General Letitia James said her office is continuing to actively investigate the Trump Organization's alleged inflation and deflation of property values to evade tax liability in the state and receive other financial benefits.

That ruling, issued Monday, "doesn't change the tenor of our lawsuit," James said in an interview for The New York Times's DealBook DC Policy Project.James also said the Supreme Court's ruling would not mean that her office would get Trump's tax records from Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr., who is expected to receive them this week from the former president's accounting firm through a grand jury subpoena.

Cohen, who made those claims during congressional testimony in 2019, is known to be cooperating with Vance's criminal probe. James has had repeated success in court with forcing the Trump Organization to cooperate with her investigation, despite objections. Trump, in a statement on Monday, bashed both James and Vance, as well as the Supreme Court, three of whose nine members he had appointed."The new phenomenon of "headhunting" prosecutors and AGs — who try to take down their political opponents using the law as a weapon — is a threat to the very foundation of our liberty," Trump said.
