Attorney general subpoenas

D.C. attorney general subpoenas Trump’s inaugural committee

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee has been subpoenaed for financial records by the attorney general for the District of Columbia.

A spokesman for the committee confirmed the subpoena late Wednesday and said committee officials are in contact with investigators.

The committee has received two similar subpoenas from federal prosecutors in New York and state authorities in New Jersey.

The latest subpoena similarly seeks an array of documents regarding the $107 million the committee raised to hold inaugural events.

A copy of the subpoena obtained by The Associated Press suggests the D.C. attorney general is examining whether committee officers benefited from the group’s spending.

It also seeks records involving any payments the committee made to the Trump Organization and the Trump International Hotel in Washington, which hosted some of the events.
