As part of its continued search to find something to charge former President Donald Trump with regarding his real estate holdings, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is now investigating loans given to Trump for multiple properties.

The Wall Street Journal reported about the new investigation on Saturday, though it is unclear why the probe is now looking into these loans. Trump has received nearly $300 million in loans from companies connected to Ladder Capital Corp. a New York-based real estate investment firm that doesn’t appear to be under any sort of scrutiny itself. The latest probe is specifically looking into the loans given to Trump for the Trump Tower, Trump International Hotel, Trump Plaza, and a skyscraper in New York’s Financial District.
