The @NewYorkStateAG files an appellate brief seeking to affirm the order sending Trump and two of his adult children to depositions.

It opens by noting the investigation has “uncovered significant evidence” of misleading asset valuations for “more than a decade.”
NYAG’s office has interviewed more than 40 people since @MichaelCohen212’s congressional testimony sparked the investigation in 2019, she says.
Her office has collected “hundreds of thousands” of Trump Organization documents—and mind the footnote there.

She says that’s in spite of “serious lapses” in the company’s document preservation and production since it’s been under judicial supervision.
NYAG argues that the course of the investigation shows it wasn’t a “bad faith” effort to lend backdoor support to the parallel criminal probe it is now assisting.

As in other investigations, the organization’s senior principals are being interviewed “towards the end.”
Defending her refrain “no one is above the law” against allegations of bias, NYAG notes that’s not a polemical sentiment.

Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch said that in Trump v. Vance, she notes.

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/us/…
The ex-U.S. Attorney was a GOP state legislator before taking on that role.

The case "appears to have petered out, at least for the moment," per the Times.
Note: The U.S. Attorney's forcing out happened in August.

The NYT exposed backstory today.

As for the underlying probe, "several people familiar with the work described it as essentially over," per the Times.
