State prosecutors in Manhattan subpoenaed eight years of President Trump’s tax returns, part of a probe into whether a payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels violated a law against falsifying business records
By Corinne Ramey and Rebecca Ballhaus Sept. 16, 2019 5:21 pm ET State prosecutors in Manhattan have subpoenaed eight years of President Trump ’s tax returns from his longtime accounting firm, according to a person familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is conducting the investigation, declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the accounting firm, Mazars USA, said in a statement that the company would “respect the legal process and fully comply with its legal obligations.” She said it is the firm’s policy not to comment on work it does for clients.An investigation by Manhattan state prosecutors into the president’s role in hush-money payments has escalated since the federal investigation into those payments—which sent former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to prison in May—concluded this summer.
The House Intelligence and Financial Services committees in April subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for documents and financial records—including tax returns—related to Mr. Trump, his children and various business entities they own spanning the last decade. Deutsche Bank told a federal appeals court last month that it has copies of tax returns sought under that subpoena.
