Manhattan DA Want Records On Trump's Seven Springs Estate

BEDFORD, NY — Prosecutors in Manhattan are seeking records related to former President Donald Trump's Seven Springs estate in Westchester County.

Some of the information that has been subpoenaed concerns the value of the estate, which was purchased in 1995 for $7.5 million and was said to be worth nearly $300 million in 2012, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal.

In 2012, Trump was trying to have the land developed into a luxury residential community. The inflation of assets for financial benefits can be a state crime.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's office has requested records from the towns of Bedford, New Castle and North Castle, CNBC reported.

Seven Springs, which is 213 acres, spans the three towns in northern Westchester County.

In May 2013, the Bedford Planning Board granted subdivision approval for the property to turn it into nine lots. The plan called for seven new houses and the preservation of existing buildings.

The property was once owned by Eugene and Agnes Meyer, whose family published the Washington Post.
