We are taking legal action to force Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump to comply with our investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings.
No one in this country can pick and choose if and how the law applies to them.
We have uncovered significant evidence indicating that the Trump Organization used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations on multiple properties to obtain economic benefits, including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions for years.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump have all been closely involved in the transactions in question, so we won’t tolerate their attempts to evade testifying in this investigation.
We will not be deterred in our efforts to continue this investigation, uncover the facts, and pursue justice, no matter how many roadblocks Mr. Trump and his family throw in our way.
No one is above the law.

Today, I am thinking about the words Dr. King spoke on his last full day of life.
On that evening in Memphis in 1968, Dr. King told us that we would someday get to the “promised land.”
After the year we just had, the promised land can seem further and further away.
We are still struggling with the pandemic.
We are still fighting for social justice.
We are still watching efforts to deny sacred rights, like the right to vote, from too many Americans.
But at our best we are fighting on and continuing MLK's work and legacy.
In his honor, we must do all we can to protect our most basic democratic right to vote.
We must pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that our elections are fair, our ballot boxes accessible, and that all Americans are heard.
Millions of U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories are unjustly denied federal benefits.
I'm fighting this inhumane policy today, in Puerto Rico with the @HispanicFed and at the Supreme Court because all Americans must be treated equally.
Next week, this very issue will be heard before the Supreme Court, and we urge the federal government to drop its case to deny these benefits to Puerto Ricans and other U.S. citizens.
Puerto Ricans are Americans, and every American deserves equal protection under the law.
A millones de ciudadanos estadounidenses que viven en Puerto Rico y otros territorios se les niegan injustamente beneficios federales.
Hoy estoy luchando contra esta política inhumana en PR con @HispanicFed y en la Corte Suprema pq todos los ciudadanos merecen equidad.
Next week, my office is hosting three community gun buyback events across New York to fight the gun violence epidemic and protect our communities.
No ID will be needed and no questions will be asked during our gun buyback events.
Get the details⬇️⬇️⬇️
Our first buyback is in Plattsburgh on Tuesday, September 28 from 11AM-2PM at the Crete Memorial Civic Center with @PlattsburghPD.
On Wednesday, September 29, we will be joined by the Rome Police Department for a buyback in Rome at the St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church from 4PM-7PM.
We busted two major drug and firearms trafficking rings that have been operating in and around the Capital Region.
47 people were indicted for their roles in flooding these communities with heroin, cocaine, and oxycodone, and for illegal possession of firearms.
These 47 individuals are connected to two gangs that trafficked large amounts of drugs and used Facebook and Snapchat to sell these drugs and brazenly post pictures of illegal guns in their possession.
They have also been linked to the rise in violent crime in the region, including the rise of fatal shootings that have been at the center of this devastation over the past year.
For years, Roberto Clemente Park in Brentwood, Long Island was used as an illegal dumping site for hazardous waste, which put children and communities in harm’s way.
Today, I'm proud to deliver $627K to improve this park and support this community that unfairly suffered.
These funds are the result of our lawsuits against companies that dumped tens of thousands of tons of hazardous construction waste in this park, forcing the park to close for three years and robbing residents of a centerpiece of their community.
The threats of environmental injustice are real and have unfairly plagued communities of color like Brentwood for too long.
Today, we begin to give back what’s long been due, and hold accountable those responsible for polluting this park with dangerous chemicals.
