President Trump's son Eric Trump was questioned under oath Monday as part of a New York Attorney General investigation of the Trump Organization.
"The NYAG’s targeting of my family violates every ethical rule she was elected to protect," Trump tweeted in September, along with a video of Attorney General Letitia James' statements about investigating his father. "Last month alone there were over 240 shootings in NYC, yet the NYAG’s sole focus is an anti-Trump fishing expedition that she promised during her campaign. New York is so lost.
The probe is looking into whether the company overvalued certain properties in some instances, and devalued others for tax purposes after former Trump attorney Michael Cohen claimed the president had engaged in similar practices in the past. Eric Trump's interview took place Monday via video-conference, a source told Bloomberg. While it is unknown exactly what was discussed, the attorney general has made it known in a court filing that "Eric Trump was intimately involved" in the development of a property in Westchester County, N.Y., which is one of the focuses of the probe.
"Justice and the rule of law prevailed today,” James said in a September statement after a judge ordered Eric Trump to appear for questioning no later than Oct. 7. “To be clear, no entity or individual is allowed to dictate how or when our investigation will proceed or set the parameters of a lawful investigation.
