The civil investigation is looking into the family’s real estate business. However, both siblings intend to file against the subpoenas insistent they have done nothing wrong and should not be investigated. According to ABC, “The ongoing criminal investigation has so far resulted in indictments against the Trump Organization and its longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg on tax charges. Prosecutors said the company had been paying Weisselberg’s rent, living expenses, private school tuition and car lease without proper reporting on tax returns. Both pleaded not guilty.”
