WASHINGTON - Millions of pages of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s tax returns and business documents have been turned over to New York prosecutors after he lost a 17-month effort to keep investigators from obtaining them. The records, including the federal income tax returns Trump filed with the government’s Internal Revenue Service from 2011 to 2019, were handed over to New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. by Trump’s longtime accounting firm, Mazars, on Monday. The handoff came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the former president, who left office a month ago. Vance, other prosecutors, and investigators are now poring over the documents to determine whether Trump, the Trump Organization, the real estate company’s longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, or any of Trump’s three adult children — Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — engaged in financial fraud.

That defensive possession he played him better than anybody did the entire night, and showed how much we wanted to win the game.” The win is a season-best fifth straight overall and sixth consecutive home win for the suddenly streaking … [Read more...] about Nuggets hold on to beat Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks
