The office of NY Attorney General Letitia James cited a report accusing former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg of lying under oath.

The New York Attorney General's office suggested that the Trump Organization failed to produce evidence in the $250 million fraud trial of Donald Trump and his company.The AG's office proposed that an independent monitor conduct a forensic review of electronic data held by the Trump Organization.

It is "also suggestive of potentially broader issues in the production process," wrote the official, senior enforcement counsel Kevin Wallace, in the letter to Judge Arthur Engoron. Wallace, in his letter, proposed that an independent monitor conduct a forensic review of electronic data held by the Trump Organization from August to September 2016.

The article, titled "Trump’s Longtime CFO Lied, Under Oath, About Trump Tower Penthouse," said Weisselberg falsely claimed on the stand that he had "never focused" on the valuation of Trump's apartment. The article went on, "Given the fact that these discussions continued for years, and that Weisselberg took a very detailed approach in reviewing Trump's assets with Forbes, it defies all logic to think he truly believes what he is now saying in court."

But he added, "While Defendants have produced some emails in that exchange, it appears they have not produced a later set of emails" between Weisselberg and a real estate expert, Steven Ekovich.
