Washington, D.C.’s attorney general has issued a subpoena for documents relating to President Trump’s inaugural committee, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The latest subpoena marks the third governmental authority seeking documents related to how the committee reportedly raised $107 million and used that money to fund Trump’s inauguration, the Times reported. Federal prosecutors in New York and New Jersey’s attorney general have also reportedly subpoenaed committee documents.
Washington Attorney General Karl Racine is probing whether funds “were wasted, mismanaged and/or improperly provided private benefit, causing the committee to exceed or abuse its authority or act contrary to its nonprofit purpose,” according to the Times.
The subpoena also requests documents related to payments to the Trump Organization or the Trump International Hotel, the Times reported. The hotel was reportedly given $1.5 million for food, rooms and ballroom use.
Prosecutors are also seeking information on whether Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. or Eric Trump had a role on the committee and whether there were any payments to committee officials or their companies.
