The Manhattan DA s office Saturday declined an Insider request to confirm the WSJ s reporting.
As Insider previously reported, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. are leading investigations into Trump s personal finances and the finances of the Trump Organization.
Last year, Vance, a Democrat who this year faces a battle for reelection, won a Supreme Court ruling that confirmed he was able to obtain Trump s tax returns and other financial documents, but Trump appealed the ruling again on different grounds. The Supreme Court has not said whether it plans to hear the former president s second appeal.

Prosecutors say porn star hush money case against Trump is dead
When Donald Trump lost the legal shield of the presidency last month, some pundits speculated federal prosecutors might revive an investigation that implicated him in possible campaign finance crimes during his 2016 run for office.
But several people involved in the case say the U.S. attorney s office in Manhattan has made no move to restart the hush-money probe that once dogged Trump s presidency and sent his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to prison.
In fact, an attorney for one key witness described the investigation as dead, adding prosecutors have even returned certain evidence they collected â a likely indication no one else will be charged. The attorney spoke on the condition of anonymity because prosecutors have not discussed the case publicly.
