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.

The Supreme Court has not said whether it plans to hear the former president s second appeal.
