He described the requests as an “unwarranted fishing expedition” with no relevance to Trump’s criminal trial.
In a separate filing made public Wednesday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said that if Trump chooses to testify at the trial, prosecutors plan to challenge his credibility by questioning him about his recent legal setbacks. The filing was made last month under seal.following a trial in which a judge ruled he had lied about his wealth on financial statements.
