According to US media reports, New York prosecutors have asked the Inauguration Planning Committee of President Donald Trump to hand over documents. As reported by the television channel CNN yesterday, the Procuratorate in Manhattan requested inter alia documents on donations and donors.
In addition, it is about the participants in events of the committee, documents on the legal provisions for donations and possible donations of foreigners.
Wide range of possible crimes
The broadcaster, which claims to have received a copy of the order, concludes that prosecutors are investigating a wide range of possible crimes, including conspiracy, false statements, fraud, money laundering, breaches of disclosure obligations, and non-donation donations by foreign countries or on behalf of third parties.
According to the Washington Post, prosecutors are particularly interested in all communication with venture capital investor Imaad Zuberi of Los Angeles and his company Avenue Ventures.
A spokeswoman for the inauguration committee confirmed receipt of the order to US media. She announced that she would review the document but agreed to cooperate with the investigators.
