The Trump Organization could be facing a second criminal investigation from another prosecutor’s office according to new reports. A Westchester Country district attorney is examining the finances of a golf course owned by the Trump Organization.

According to reports by The Hill:

The Times reported that the investigation will focus on whether the Trump Organization misled officials regarding the course’s value in an effort to pay less taxes on the property.

“The Club’s request for a review of its tax assessments was amicably resolved earlier this year and signed off by the Town Board, the Town Assessor, Special Counsel for the Town (who determined the settlement to be both ‘appropriate and in the best interests of the Town of Ossining’), the Briarcliff Manor School District, the Office of the Westchester County Attorney and the Westchester County Supreme Court judge presiding over the matter,” a spokesperson for the Trump Organization said in an email to The Hill.

“Accordingly, the suggestion that anything was inappropriate is completely false and incredibly irresponsible. The witch hunt continues,” the statement added.

Miriam Rocah, the Westchester district attorney and a Democrat, has not accused anyone at the Trump Organization of any wrongdoing thus far, according to the Times. It remains unclear if any charges will be considered or if the former president’s own actions will be investigated.

The Trump family business is already being investigated by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. In July the Trump Organization and financial chief, Allen H. Weisselberg, was charged by prosecutors for failing to pay taxes on employee perks.
