NY Prosecutors Interview Michael Cohen About Trump Finances

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - New York prosecutors conducted an hours-long interview
   Thursday of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal
   attorney, asking a range of questions about Trump's business dealings,
   according to three people familiar with the meeting.

   The interview focused in part on Trump's relationship with Deutsche
   Bank, his biggest and longest-standing creditor, according to the three
   people, who weren't authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke
   to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

   The interview, at least the second of Cohen by the Manhattan district
   attorney's office, comes amid a long-running grand jury investigation
   into Trump's business dealings. District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
   has been waging a protracted legal battle to get access to the
   president's tax records.

   The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on Trump's request for a
   stay and a further appeal after he leaves office January 20.
