Judge orders Trump Organization's tax firm to hand over some documents that they deemed 'privileged' to NY attorney general

A New York State judge has ordered a tax firm that worked for the Trump Organization to hand over documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James related to her ongoing investigation into the business - even though the company had tried to keep them 'privileged'.

The Friday supplemental order from Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron is one of the first to come since Trump's time as president officially came to a close, ending some of the legal protections he had.

In the court order, Engoron said he reviewed the documents from the firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP ('Morgan Lewis') and determined that there were some that needed to be sent to James's office.

Can the Honorable Judge Engoron order the release of Joe Biden’s medical records? I’d like to see what kind of meds he takes for dementia. Oh, and Joe’s financial records as they relate to Hunter’s grift?

Part of the plan. Keep Trump occupied fighting charges in New York and keeping his business afloat and he isn’t out there campaigning for 2022 candidates.

“Keep Trump occupied “

That may be the plan, but Trump delegates.

Remember all the demands to see Trump’s medical records, and mental tests? You think Biden would survive 5 minutes of that?

Trump is guilty. The Left just needs to find a crime. Any crime will do. If they can fabricate charges, then a rat NY jury will convict; evidence be damned.

To whom? Prosecutions will be against him and even with attorneys he will still have to play a major role in it. And as for saving his businesses, you think Eric can do that?
