Trump accuses NY AG of 'weaponizing' office against him

Former President Trump has blasted New York's attorney general for trying to "politically weaponize her position" instead of "exemplifying impartiality and protecting the interests of all New Yorkers" as her office conducts multiple investigations into him and his company.
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) is seeking a deposition from former President Trump and moving to subpoena him as part of a civil investigation into alleged fraud within the Trump Organization, according to reports.
James and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office are also conducting a separate joint criminal probe into whether Trump lowered property values on his forms for tax agents, but raised them to look better for financial lenders.
Trump alleged in a statement on Wednesday that James was committing "prosecutorial misconduct" and wasting her time by continuing a "witch hunt against the Republican Party and me."
