BY FAR THE HARDEST GROUP WE HAVE EVER WORKED WITH - We have successfully been raising funds to run the publication for 14 years. This is - by far - the hardest group we have ever raised money from. It is causing some problems. We have a number of very dedicated supporters in this group. Thank you sincerely for what you do. We also have many who are very reluctant to participate. This can be a lot easier. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

FOCUS: Manhattan DA Intensifies Investigation of Trump

William K. Rashbaum, Ben Protess and David Enrich, The New York Times
Excerpt: "State prosecutors in Manhattan have interviewed several employees of President Trump's bank and insurance broker in recent weeks, according to people with knowledge of the matter, significantly escalating an investigation into the president that he is powerless to stop."

Prosecutors have recently interviewed employees of President Trump’s lender and insurance brokerage, in the latest indication that he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges once he leaves office.

The interviews with people who work for the lender, Deutsche Bank, and the insurance brokerage, Aon, are the latest indication that once Mr. Trump leaves office, he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges that would be beyond the reach of federal pardons.

It remains unclear whether the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., will ultimately bring charges. The prosecutors have been fighting in court for more than a year to obtain Mr. Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns, which they have called central to their investigation. The issue now rests with the Supreme Court.
