New York state launches tax probe of Trump Foundation
ALBANY— New York state tax officials have opened an investigation into the Trump Foundation to determine whether President Donald Trump or his charity violated state law.
The probe began about a month ago and was confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday by a state official with knowledge of the investigation. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about active investigations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
If evidence of alleged crimes is found, the matter could be referred to prosecutors, who could seek the release of Trump’s tax returns.
