Federal Judge Rules NY Prosecutors Can Subpoena Trump's Tax Records
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, a federal judge ruled Thursday that a Manhattan
prosecutor can subpoena Donald Trump's tax records, rejecting the
president's claim that the request amounted to unlawful "harassment."
District Attorney Cy Vance is seeking eight years of Trump's tax records
as part of an investigation into hush-money payments doled out by
Trump's former fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen ahead of the
2016 election.
