New York’s attorney general has subpoenaed two of Donald Trump’s adult children, Donald Trump Jnr and Ivanka Trump, as part of her civil investigation into the former US president’s business practices and namesake company.
The subpoenas from the office of Attorney General Letitia James were disclosed in a Monday filing with a New York state court in Manhattan.
James has also subpoenaed Trump. Lawyers for the Trump family are seeking to block her from questioning the former Republican president and his children, the filing said.
Lawyers for the family were not immediately available for comment.
The subpoenas were first reported by The New York Times, which cited a person familiar with the matter.
Last month, Trump sued James to block her civil inquiry into the Trump Organisation, accusing the Democrat of partisan politics.
