(Reuters) - After a lengthy court battle, the Manhattan District Attorney is in possession of Donald Trump s tax returns and other financial records as part of a criminal investigation into the former president and his family-run Trump Organization, a spokesman for the office confirmed on Thursday.
The New York prosecutor s office obtained the voluminous records on Monday, the same day the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Trump s latest attempt to keep his longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, from turning over the records.
Danny Frost, a spokesman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, confirmed the office s receipt of the documents, which came some 18 months after a subpoena was issued for them.
