At this point I think they are using this as a rallying call to the lemmings for the midterms.

City intends to act on findings of NY Times investigation
Trump played tax officials 'like a fiddle,' de Blasio says

"The city of New York is looking to recoup any money that Donald Trump owes the people of New York City, period."

The state Finance Department said Tuesday that it would open an investigation into the allegations. The department had previously begun investigating the president's charity, the Trump Foundation. ... De Blasio said the city and state would work together on the new probe.
