The Manhattan DA's office told a federal court today that it's seeking President Trump's financial records as it investigates "public allegations of possible criminal activity at ... New York-County based Trump Organization dating back over a decade."
The DA's office also says its investigation is not limited to the illegal "hush money" payments ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen orchestrated to prevent two women from describing extramarital affairs with Trump.
The DA's filing reflects a more wide-ranging inquiry. It says a grand jury should be allowed to gather Trump's financial records to "assess whether a pattern of financial misconduct, for example, might violate state criminal law."
Here's the filing -> courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

A former spokesman for the DEA, Garrison Courtney, is in federal court in Virginia this morning pleading guilty to a wire-fraud case in which he acknowledged falsely posing as a CIA officer working on a secret program to support covert operations in Africa.
The charging documents are still sealed, but the scheme sounds intense: Forged documents promising people immunity from prosecution, fake contracts, a fake SCIF.
This case is nuts: Courtney acknowledges he persuaded "real public officials" that they had been selected to participate in the secret program and used them to help land contracts with private companies, and that he got officials to let him use government offices.

If you want to get up to speed on how police officers can outrun misconduct, take a look at this @usatoday investigation from last year.

It found the "journey from disgraced police officer to police chief is a surprisingly common one."

usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
Because of police secrecy, "thousands of people have faced criminal charges or gone to prison based in part on testimony from officers deemed to have credibility problems," many of which remained hidden.

usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
For more than a year, @usatoday collected records of more than 200,000 incidents of alleged misconduct, many of which had not previously been disclosed. Then it published them.

You can, and should, see them here:

The defense secretary says he thought he was accompanying the president to Lafayette Square to observe a vandalized bathroom.
Pretty remarkable how rapidly and aggressively some parts of Washington are running away from what happened yesterday in Lafayette Square.
