JUST IN: A federal judge has sided with New York state prosecutors who are attempting to get access to President Trump’s accounting records for a grand jury investigation. “Justice requires an end to this controversy,” the judge wrote.
The ruling by US District Judge Victor Marrero follows a landmark Supreme Court decision this summer and subsequent arguments from Trump that he has presidential immunity from such an inquiry. "Justice requires an end to this controversy," Marrero wrote.Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's office has been examining whether Trump or the Trump Organization violated state laws in connection with hush money payments made to women alleging affairs with Trump.
Vance's office has said it seeks the accounting records for an investigation into the Trump Organization that spans years, and includes looking into the hush money payments that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen secured for women during the 2016 campaign. The women alleged they had affairs with Trump, which Trump denies. Cohen had also publicly accused Trump of inflating his assets to banks and insurers, and the district attorney has interviewed Cohen.
