NY probe found potential crimes. Why isn't Trump in cuffs?
NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s attorney general says her three-year investigation of former President Donald Trump uncovered potential crimes in the way he ran his real estate empire, including allegations of bank and insurance fraud.
In New York, the state attorney general’s office is only allowed to prosecute a limited range of offenses on its own, like bid rigging and payroll violations.
Otherwise, the office must partner with a county district attorney on a prosecution — as James’ office did with the Manhattan district attorney’s office in a case against Trump’s longtime finance chief — or obtain what’s known as a criminal referral from the governor or a state agency that has jurisdiction over the alleged wrongdoing.
She has no such to utilize.
Thanks. Didn’t several prosecutors quit before that Manhattan Grand Jury expired? I seem to recall them saying they couldn’t find any wrongdoing and they wanted out.
I believe you are correct!
