So what criminal investigation is there? Which NY prosecutor?

From article:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/scotus-rules-trump-financial-records-subpoenas/story?id=71382157&cid=social_twitter_abcn

The justice sent the New York case back to a lower court in the 7-2 decision.

The majority rejected the president’s claims of absolute immunity from criminal investigative process and affirms the ability of the Manhattan DA to subpoena he president’s financial records — but the court returns the matter back to a lower court for further proceedings to allow the president to “raise further arguments as appropriate.”

This is how I read it:

"The majority rejected the [snip] claims of absolute immunity from criminal investigative process and affirms the ability of the Manhattan DA to subpoena [snip] financial records...."

PDJT has nothing to fear but Biden, others? This will be interesting.

loophole larry here...

I wonder why the President can’t ask for the same records Vance is asking for, to prepare for his defense.
They now become official Presidential records.
Once he gets them, he includes them in the Presidential Records act.
He basically wishes them into the cornfield.

Specifically, the PRA allows for public access to Presidential records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) beginning five years after the end of the Administration, but allows the President to invoke as many as six specific restrictions to public access for up to twelve years
