N.Y. District Attorney Suggests Wider Investigation Of Possible “Protracted Criminal Conduct” At Trump Organization
Ted Johnson New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance, defending grand jury issued to obtain President Donald Trump’s tax returns, suggested on Monday that the purpose was for a wider investigation of “protracted criminal conduct” at the Trump Organization.The comments came as part of a court filing as Trump’s legal team challenges the subpoenas. The Supreme Court earlier this year rejected arguments made by the president’s lawyers that he had blanket immunity from prosecution.The New York grand jury investigation was said to have focused on obtaining records related to the hush money payments made by Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, to two women who claim to have had affairs with Trump.
