Two banks that financed Trump projects in New York and elsewhere were subpoenaed.

And that’s just this week, when New York State officials took on a much bigger role in the investigations swirling around the president and his associates.

Confused by the barrage of inquiries — and especially what New York officials are doing?

Let us explain:

Who is investigating in New York?

• Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat and vocal critic of Mr. Trump.

• The state’s Department of Financial Services, which is part of Governor Cuomo’s administration. He is a Democrat and successfully campaigned for re-election last year on the theme of battling Mr. Trump.

• The Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., a Democrat who said Mr. Trump’s policies and oratory undermine security efforts at home and abroad.

What are they looking into?

• Ms. James subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank, which financed Trump projects in New York, Chicago, Washington and Florida.
