The Manhattan District Attorney is looking into loans awarded to former Donald Trump for four New York City properties, adding to the probes the former president already faces, The Wall Street Journal reports. Cyrus Vance, Jr.’s office is investigating financials related to the Trump International Hotel, Trump Plaza, Trump Tower, and a skyscraper at 40 Wall Street. The sum of the loans is more than $280 million, all awarded by subsidiaries of Ladder Capital Corp., a real estate investment trust where the Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer’s son works. Vance’s office is also working on a larger investigation into possible insurance fraud and other alleged crimes by the Trump Organization, which has involved legal battles over access to the former president’s tax returns.

I'm not expecting much from him. He's been a disappointment and some of his actions seem very questionable.

and then months later quietly drops the case without any comment.

I'm beginning to think it's a game with him and he has no intention of doing anything.

What do you think about the possibility that Letitia has something up her sleeve? I have a lot more hope for her.

concerning expectations from/about Cy Vance. Would like to be proven wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

So tired of hearing about all of these investigations but no action is being taken. It is so frustrating. It is obvious that he is a sleazy businessman man that does not respect the law. Cohen has admitted some of their scams. Cohen sentenced to jail and Trump plays golf all day. Sorry I’m just frustrated! He is one of the most corrupt people and gets away with everything. I don’t want to sweep everything under the rug and be happy that he is gone. I want him to pay for his crimes.

Lotta talk about investigations but not much action to see, Maybe Leticia James will produce some action soon.
