Manhattan prosecutors justify their demand to seek US President Trump’s personal and corporate tax records, citing public reports of 'extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization'
President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with US tech workers, before signing an Executive Order on hiring American workers, at the White House, Monday, August 3, 2020, in Washington.
Manhattan District Attorney District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. seeks eight years of the Republican president’s personal and corporate tax records, but has disclosed little about what prompted him to request the records, other than part of the investigation relates to payoffs to women to keep them quiet about alleged affairs with Trump.
“These reports describe transactions involving individual and corporate actors based in New York County, but whose conduct at times extended beyond New York’s borders. This possible criminal activity occurred within the applicable statutes of limitations, particularly if the transactions involved a continuing pattern of conduct,” the lawyers said.The lawyers urged Judge Victor Marrero to swiftly reject Trump's arguments, saying the baseless claims were threatening the investigation.
The Supreme Court last month rejected claims by Trump’s lawyers that the president could not be criminally investigated while he was in office.Vance’s lawyers said Trump was not entitled to know the scope and nature of the grand jury investigation. But they said information already in the public domain about Trump’s business dealings provided satisfactory support for the subpoena of his tax records.
