There will not be a criminal charges case against President Trump!
Westchester's district attorney shut down its criminal investigation into the Trump Organization this month.
District Attorney Mimi Rocah closed the investigation earlier in June, the person said.
Elliott Jacobson, a special prosecutor hired by Rocah, departed the office in late 2022. He found that the evidence collected in the investigation couldn't support criminal charges, regarded conduct outside the statute of limitations, or overlapped with investigations underway by other law enforcement officials, according to the source, whose identity is known to Insider but who was not authorized to speak on the record.
Much of the material came under the jurisdiction of the New York attorney general's office. The district attorney's office can pursue only criminal cases, while the attorney general's office has the power to bring civil lawsuits.
New York Attorney General Letitia James brought a blockbuster civil lawsuit against the Trump Organization in September, which is scheduled to go to trial this October.
The district attorney's office in Westchester — a county north of New York City — opened the investigation two years ago. It examined whether the former president's family business illegally misled authorities about the value of the Trump National Golf Club Westchester to pay lower property taxes. For years leading up to the criminal investigation, the village of Ossining had been entangled in civil litigation with the club over the property's true value and appropriate tax bill, court records reviewed by Insider show.
