NEW YORK - The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has taken possession of former president Donald Trump's tax returns and a wealth of other financial data, officials said Thursday, records deemed central to prosecutors' sprawling criminal investigation into Trump's business activities. The Trump Organization did not respond to requests to comment. There appears to be some overlap between Vance's probe and a separate but similar civil inquiry by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Because the inaugural committee is a nonprofit entity, Racine has alleged the Trump Organization used a charity's money for private gain. The attorney general is seeking to make the Trump Organization pay back more than $1 million, with the proceeds going to charity.
