Manhattan DA probing Trump and his business over more than ‘hush-money’ payments | Malay Mail

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance raised the scope of the probe in court papers filed in federal court in Manhattan yesterday. He is seeking to dismiss Trump’s latest challenge to the subpoena for eight years of personal and corporate tax records. Vance noted in the court papers that when the subpoena was issued last August, there were “public allegations of possible criminal activity” at the Trump Organization dating back a decade. He said public reports show a basis for each category and timeframe of documents sought from Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA.

In a footnote to yesterday’s filing, Vance cited media reports on Trump’s alleged role in the hush-money scheme and on the “unorthodox strategies” he used to expand his real estate empire. Vance urged the court to dismiss Trump’s latest challenge to the subpoena “without delay,” arguing the complaint “merely regurgitates allegations and arguments this court has rejected before.”
