State investigators in New York issued a subpoena to Michael Cohen on Wednesday as part of an ongoing multi-agency investigation into the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a spokesperson with the state's department of taxation and finance told ABC News.

The subpoena for Cohen arrived less than 24 hours after the former fixer and personal attorney to President Donald Trump pleaded guilty to two charges of campaign finance violations related to the Trump campaign.

An official with the office of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told ABC News that shortly after Cohen was served the subpoena, he reached out to the NY department of taxation and finance to ask when they could schedule a time to talk.

The New York attorney general's office, a separate New York state agency, filed a lawsuit in June accusing Trump's charitable foundation of having "operated in persistent violation of state and federal law governing New York State charities" for more than a decade by paying off legal bills with charitable funds, promoting Trump hotels, and purchasing personal items.
The lawsuit targets Trump and three of his children – Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric – and seeks to dissolve the private New York-based foundation and prevent the Trumps from serving as directors of any nonprofits in the future.

I wonder if Schneiderman was being blackmailed as the AG's of NY had to of known this crap before, all the big players that tax evaded and ran self serving foundations. Trump Foundation comes to mind. Too bad that Underwood is not seeking re-election.

Now that's an angle I hadn't thought of! I heard this new woman AG of NY is a skilled litigator. She argued 8 or 9 cases in front of the Supreme Court. Maddow was rattling off all the agencies FED and of course in NY that were sent documents around this.

I'm sad for the kids. KIDS are kids. And it takes a helluva lot of GALL and CONTEMPT (or fear) for boys to turn against fathers. It's just the way it is.

They already investigated the Trump Foundation back in 2016. They must like repeating themselves.

But you just keep on drooling you'll dehydrate eventually. LOL
