New York Prosecutors have subpoenaed Ladder Capital, which has loaned the Trump Organization over $100 million, and the Trump Organization for records relating to large sums of money paid to Ivanka Trump while she served as a White House adviser, sources familiar with the inquiry told CNN.
The news comes after Donald Trump’s tax returns and related records were turned over to the Manhattan district attorney.
The documents, which the former president tried to keep secret for years, are critical to the investigation because they are likely to contain information that would show if the Trump Organization engaged in tax fraud, insurance fraud and other schemes to defraud both financial organizations and the US government.
Prosecutors obtained the records on Monday, just hours after the US Supreme Court denied Trump’s last-ditch effort to keep the records private.
