The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James has reportedly turned down an offer from former President Donald Trump”™s attorneys to settle her civil investigation into his family-owned real estate business.
The New York Times, citing information sourced from “three people with knowledge of the matter,” reported that the Trump Organization”™s legal team “for months has made overtures to the attorney general”™s office.” James does not have the authority to criminally charge Trump and her office has not commented on the Times”™ reporting.
Trump, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, has publicly accused James, a Democrat who is running for re-election in November, of instigating a politically motivated witch hunt.
Among the Trump real estate holdings being looked at in James”™ investigation is the Seven Springs Estate in Westchester.
