New York Attorney General Letitia James requested the judge enforce her subpoena after Eric Trump abruptly canceled an interview with James’ office and a week after The Trump Organization said that neither the company nor its lawyers would comply with seven subpoenas tied to the investigation.

Use the Hillary defense - I do not remember or I do not recall
‘Improper’ assignment real estate values?
Uh-huh.
Crime of the Century!
Burn all the Trumps down!
Pound sand
His work for his father’s campaign is in the national interest. He should not have to do squat.
Fox loves to put this headline out tge day Hunter is headlining.
Hope he takes the fifth as his testimony.
It’s an opinion of value for goodness sakes.
My opinion is different than someone else’s opinion. So what?
His testimony will be leaked, guaranteed. Ironic, prosecutor says no one is above the law except if your FBI, CIA, Hillary Clinton.
This is nothing but a vigilante prosecution and right before an election.
Take the 5th and f’em!
When is Hildabeast going to be testifying? Anyone remember Benghazi? Emails?
But Duraham and Barr are tip toeing around in their tutus, deathly afraid that someone will be a meany and accuse them of tampering with the election if they end their damn investigation and arrest people.
Yep.
Why it’s so chicken sh*t.
The NY AG is nothing more than a partisan piece of —— odiferous excrement.
Sad for NY. They actually had a turnaround in that state when Rudy was at the helm of NYC. But not now. It’s all returning to hell.
Bump it up to the next level.
Of course it is, and she has been after any and all of the Trump family with fishing expeditions since she assumed office in Jan. of 2019. The Judge is indeed a Democrat, but he wasn’t appointed he was elected.
Is there an appeal available to Eric Trump and his organization?
