The court filing by James' office was in response to Trump's recent legal effort to block an attempt to question the former president himself, his son Donald Trump Jr.

The Trump organization is accused of using fraudulent or misleading valuations to obtain loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions.

James noted that the former president and two of his children were involved in the transactions in question.

The company's statements were generally inflated as part of a pattern to suggest that Mr. Trump's net worth was higher than it otherwise would have appeared.

The attorney general wants a judge to deny the motion to block the Trumps from complying with her previous subpoenas.

James said that the state would not be deterred in their efforts to uncover the facts and pursue justice even though Mr. Trump and his family were blocking the investigation.

The key background.

The former president and his businesses have been the subject of several investigations, including one by the New York Attorney General. The criminal investigation into Trump's business empire is being carried out by the Manhattan district attorney. The Trump Organization and its former CFO Allen Weisselberg were indicted by a Manhattan grand jury as part of a criminal investigation. A 15-year tax evasion scheme paid company executives over one million dollars in untaxed money. An investigation in Westchester County is looking at financial records from the Trump National Golf Club to see if it committed fraud by undervaluing its assets to reduce its tax bill.

The New York Times reported that the attorney general outlined a pattern of possible fraud.

The New York AG wants to compel Trump's testimony.
