A spokesman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. (D) said Thursday that the office obtained the records on Monday.
The development comes after the Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed an effort from Trump’s lawyers to shield the documents.
CNN, which first reported on the new development, reported that prosecutors have obtained millions of pages of documents, including tax returns from January 2011 to August 2019, financial statements and documents concerning the preparation and review of the tax returns.
The district attorney’s office obtained the documents from Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, which it had subpoenaed in 2019 as part of a grand jury investigation.
The district attorney’s office started its investigation to examine payments made prior to the 2016 president election to silence two women who alleged they had affairs with Trump. Prosecutors have also said they are looking into potential financial crimes by the Trump Organization.

Surprising. I thought surely Trump would stall.
Wonder if the returns are the ones he actually filed.
