Attorneys for former President Donald Trump and two of his adult children moved late Monday to block “unprecedented and unconstitutional” subpoenas from the New York attorney general’s office seeking their testimony.

In a court filing Monday evening, lawyers for Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., attempted to quash the subpoenas from Attorney General Letitia James’s office which seek testimony and documents as part of a lengthy civil investigation involving matters including “the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by Trump and his family business.
