A judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Organization to turn over documents to New York state investigators as part of a probe into the company’s business practices.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, revealed in August that she had been probing whether the Trump Organization had “improperly” manipulated the value of its assets on annual financial statements in order to secure loans and obtain tax benefits. The investigation had remained confidential for months.
