New York Attorney General Letitia James said her office will share her investigation's findings to offices that could bring charges against Trump. Today, she announced a lawsuit against Trump for violating the law as part of his efforts to generate profits. 

REPORTER: “As you know, these allegations are at least three years old, that's the origin of your investigation. The DOJ and IRS have had access to the same starting points that you did with these referrals. Do you hope to force their hand into action?”

JAMES: “It's not a question of forcing their hands. It's a question of presenting to them evidence which we believe suggest illegality and suggest that he was engaging in a number of schemes to benefit himself, his corporation, and his family. And so we will present this information to the District Attorney of New York if he requests it, as well as the Southern District of New York and the IRS based on the allegations that we uncovered, based on the evidence that we uncovered.”
