Federal authorities, according to sources, have served subpoenas to New York Attorney General Letitia James.
In a significant development, federal prosecutors in Albany, New York, are conducting investigations into two high-profile cases. The cases involve President Donald Trump and his associates, as well as the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The civil fraud case against President Trump, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump and his companies have fraudulently inflated the value of their assets. This practice, it is claimed, was done to secure favourable loans and other financial benefits. As a result, a judge has ordered Trump and his associates to pay over $450 million in penalties.
This case centers around Trump and his companies grossly overstating his wealth, a practice that has been the subject of much scrutiny and controversy. James's office has been handling this case, and federal prosecutors in Albany are now scrutinizing whether James's prosecution may have deprived Trump and his adult children of their legal rights during the case.
The DOJ has issued subpoenas seeking documents and information about James's successful lawsuit against Trump and his businesses. This investigation is viewed by James's legal team as politically motivated retaliation for her enforcement actions against Trump.
Regarding the NRA, the current search results do not contain specific information about a corruption case or federal inquiry involving the NRA linked to this context. Therefore, no verified details about a corruption case against the NRA as part of this federal investigation are available.
In summary, the federal investigation into the civil fraud case against President Trump and the potential civil rights violations in that prosecution is being conducted by DOJ prosecutors in Albany. The corruption case against the NRA, for which no specific details are available at this time, is also being investigated by federal prosecutors in Albany.

- The federal investigation in Albany, New York, extends beyond the civil fraud case against President Trump, with DOJ prosecutors also examining whether politics and policy-and-legislation have influenced the prosecution's approach, specifically whether Trump's legal rights were deprived.
- General news outlets suggest that the Albany-based federal investigation is also delving into war-and-conflicts of interest, with allegations of political retaliation surfacing against Attorney General Letitia James's office, potentially involving the National Rifle Association (NRA), although specific details on the NRA's corruption case remain scarce.
