Prosecutors pushed back in a few court versions after Trump’s lawyers sought a hearing to begin obtaining information about the probe, including the tax bill.
Trump last week challenged the district attorney’s claim that it was conducting an extensive criminal investigation into his companies, claiming that the statement for his accountants was too broad and intended to harass him illegally.
The district attorney’s office, which accused the president of trying to delay the enforcement order, argued on Friday that Trump failed to establish a valid legal challenge to the grand jury’s investigation and has no right to discovery. about the probe.
“This is obviously not how a grand jury functions,” the prosecutors wrote in one of their submissions. “A journalist recipient is not entitled to discovery in a separate, civil lawsuit.”
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has no special immunity for such grand jury readings, and sent the case back to the U.S. District Court in New York’s Southern District.
The president’s legal team then faced a new legal challenge to the summons, urging the court to hear evidence on the scope of the investigation.
Trump’s lawyer did not immediately respond when asked for comment Friday.
