One of the longest running legal cases involving the former president involves him testifying as part of a civil investigation into his real estate business.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump called James a racist and referred to her investigation into his businesses as the greatest witch hunt in US history.

When the FBI searched the home of the former president in an unrelated case, other Republican leaders used the term "Banana Republic" to describe the country.

Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, were asked to testify by James' office.

They testified last week.

The Trump organization was accused of using "fraudulent or misleading" valuations to obtain loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions. The company's financial statements were inflated as part of a pattern to suggest that Mr. Trump's net worth was higher than it would have appeared, according to the filing. James issued multiple subpoenas in order to get the former president to testify. A parallel case being investigated by the Manhattan district attorney's office could lead to criminal charges being brought against Trump.

Tangent

FBI agents searched Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence in Florida on Monday as part of a federal investigation into the handling of White House records by the former president. The National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of documents from the White House in January. After leaving office, Trump may have violated federal record-keeping laws by taking the documents to his private residence.

The New York Attorney General claims that the Trump Organization overstated the value of assets for economic gain.

Trump said that FBI agents searched Mar-A-Lago in an "unannounced raid".

GOP leaders are reacting to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
