New York Attorney General Letitia James issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank Monday, related to four failed Trump Organization projects, a move prompted by Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony that President Donald Trump lied on his financial statements.

Per the Times, James is also unearthing documents pertaining to Trump’s failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014.
