New York prosecutors have reportedly given Trump Organization attorneys a Monday deadline to make a case as to why the organization should not face criminal charges.

The Hill reports:

Last week, it was reported that the Manhattan district attorney’s office was considering bringing criminal charges against the Trump Organization as a whole and against executive Allen WeisselbergThe New York Times reported that Trump’s attorneys had made an appeal to prosecutors from the district attorney’s office to not file charges against the company.

Two sources close to the matter told the Post that Trump Organization attorneys now have until Monday to make a case as to why the charges shouldn’t be filed.

The investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office has to do with the company’s financial dealings and whether it inflated the value of some assets to deceive lenders and insurers. The charges against Weisselberg would reportedly be over tax issues.

Last month, the New York attorney general’s office announced that the investigation, which initially had been civil in nature, had been expanded to a “criminal capacity” as well.

Former President Trump has repeatedly slammed the investigation as a “witch hunt.” Democrat Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. is working alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is also a Democrat. So far no charges have been filed.
