Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, has started reviewing personal financial records of Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's chief financial officer, The Washington Post reported.

The report comes a day after New York prosecutors subpoenaed Weisselberg for his and his family's financial records. The Trump Organization is facing two separate investigations related to financial wrongdoings, one from Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, as well as another from the state attorney general.

Weisselberg has been known for decades to be the most powerful person in the Trump Organization beyond Trump himself.

Weisselberg's former daughter-in-law, Jennifer Weisselberg, previously told Insider that in November, James' staff seized seven boxes of financial data from her, including information about joint accounts that she used to hold with Barry Weisselberg, Allen's son.

Barry was a Trump employee, and he and Jennifer had lived in two Trump apartments, free of rent.

The Post reported that Duncan Levin, Jennifer's attorney, confirmed that James' office had attained financial records from his client.

After Barry and Jennifer's divorce in November, James' office sought the financial records, which led back to Allen Weisselberg, the report said.
