The attorney general's office has been investigating President Donald Trump's finances and real estate holding since 2019 as a civil probe. The civil probe will continue alongside the new criminal probe, CNN reported.

Last week prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office subpoenaed a Manhattan private school as part of their investigation into Trump and the Trump Organizations finances.
