The New York attorney general, Letitia James, is seeking to question former President Donald Trump under oath in early January, a source with knowledge of the investigation tells NPR. The request is a significant milestone in a long-running fraud investigation into the Trump family's business practices.

Since 2019, the attorney general's office has been looking into whether Trump's companies routinely lied about the value of their properties, depending on whether they were seeking to lower their taxes or receive loans.

The attorney general's office declined to comment. Trump's attorney, Ron Fischetti, did not respond to requests for comment, but told The New York Times and Washington Post that the former president planned to fight the effort in court. Trump and his company have denied wrongdoing, calling the investigation a "witch hunt."
