Trump inaugural receives civil subpoena from New Jersey State attorney general

Source: ABC

The committee that put together President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebrations has now received a second subpoena as questions grow about the fundraising and expenditures around the most lucrative inauguration in the nation’s history.

Lawyers for the president’s inauguration received a civil subpoena from the New Jersey State Attorney General’s office within the last few days, according to sources familiar with the matter.

This marks the second subpoena the committee has received; just a few weeks ago the committee was contacted by federal prosecutors in New York’s Southern District seeking documents and records related to the inaugural committee’s activities including fundraising and spending activity for the $107 million dollars raised – the largest for any inaugural in history.

The contact made by the New Jersey State attorney general’s office is a civil matter which could potentially lead to a civil lawsuit, but it is not a criminal investigation. It is also being led by state prosecutors, unlike the New York probe which is being led by federal investigators.

Maybe Chump will see it in the Mar-A-Lardo newspaper tomorrow, after his obligatory round of golf.
Good job, New Jersey!

And there's a good chance this subpoena will unveil state crimes.
