Because Aon did business with Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization, it was served with a 9-page subpoena on March 4, 2019. The return date on the subpoena is March 19.
The subpoena was served by the New York State Department of Financial Services. It requested documents from the insurance broker, Aon, going back 10 years, including:
- "copies of all communications between Aon and Mr. Trump and the Trump organization"
- "all internal Aon documents relating to Mr. Trump and the company"
- "[records of] compensation for the current and former Aon employees who handled the Trump Organization account," including "information about their incentives, bonus payments or commissions."
- "[S]imilar contracts and agreements between Aon and Mr. Trump."

This subpoena sounds an awful lot like the document requests I have dealt with for over 40 years in Insurance Bad Faith cases.
