New York state subpoenas Cohen in Trump Foundation probe

Quote:
The subpoena was issued after Cohen's attorney said his client has information of interest to both state and federal prosecutors. As Trump's longtime lawyer and self-described "fixer," Cohen could potentially be a significant source of information for state investigators looking into whether Trump or his charity broke state law or lied about their tax liability.

"We can confirm that a subpoena has been issued to Michael Cohen for relevant information in light of the public disclosures made yesterday," said James Gazzale, a spokesman for the state's tax department.

If evidence of alleged crimes is found, the matter could be referred to prosecutors, who could pursue criminal charges and seek the release of Trump's tax returns.

Note: convictions on state charges are not subject to presidential pardons.

One little pebble and the circles begin,
A circle in a circle, they go on without end.
Ripples on the water move across the pond;
The pebble disappears, but the circles move along.

:twisted:
