New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is examining possible insider trading linked to President Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on customized tariffs. Though currently in preliminary stages, this investigation coincides with sharp market fluctuations following the announcement. Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns that close associates of Trump may have profited from inside knowledge of the tariff changes. James has the authority to investigate potential securities fraud and has had ongoing conflicts with Trump in the past over various business practices.
"It's entirely appropriate to have an investigation to make sure that Donald Trump, Donald Trump's family, Donald Trump's inner circle, didn't get advance information and trade on that information," Warren told CNN.
The examination is in its preliminary stages and is not yet a full-fledged probe, James' office confirmed to The Post Tuesday.
