New York prosecutors subpoena Trump's tax returns: Source

New York City prosecutors have subpoenaed President Donald Trump's tax returns, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Monday.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.'s office recently sent a subpoena to Trump's accounting firm seeking the last eight years of state and federal tax returns for Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, according to the person, who was not authorised to speak publicly about the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Vance, a Democrat, subpoenaed the Trump Organization last month for records related to payments former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen helped arrange to the porn actress Stormy Daniels after she claimed she had an affair with Trump.

Vance's office declined to comment Monday on the tax return subpoenas, the news of which was first reported by The New York Times.

The accounting firm, Mazars USA, said in a statement that it "will respect the legal process and fully comply with its legal obligations."
A lawyer for the Trump Organization, Marc Mukasey, said he is "evaluating the situation and will respond as appropriate."
