In Search of a Crime Goes on: Trump Real Estate Appraiser Cooperates with Letitia James Probe

A real estate firm that’s appraised a number of Trump Organization properties has handed over nearly 36,000 documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James, court documents show.

Commercial real estate giant Cushman & Wakefield was held in contempt last month after failing to comply with a subpoena from James’ office.

In addition to the contempt order, New York County Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron imposed a $10,000 fine for every day the company did not comply with James’ subpoena.

The Democratic official’s office has been investigating Donald Trump’s real estate empire in March 2019 over allegations the company used knowingly misleading financial information in its dealmaking.
