A New York judge has allowed Donald Trump to block two Manhattan district attorney’s subpoenas that were looking to search emails sent by his wife Melania Trump and similar documents.
Judge Juan Merchan decided that the subpoenas were too broad, ruling in Donald’s favor. The Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg was seeking to obtain the documents and emails to use as evidence against Donald in his felony case that alleges he falsified his business records.
If allowed, Donald would have had to hand over almost a year’s worth of emails that were sent between White House officials, employees from the Trump Organization, Donald’s travel itineraries, emails between Melania and Rhona Graff, Trump’s former executive assistant, and Graff’s emails to Keith Schiller, the former director of Oval Office operations.
Judge Merchan explained his decision stating, “This request would yield significantly more responsive records than necessary.

Donald Trump earlier this year was found liable for defamation and battery against E. Jean Carroll. The former president responded to the verdict by continuing to bash the writer who accused him of raping her in a department store dressing room, prompting her to sue him again. Trump filed a defamation counterclaim against Carroll in June — which a federal judge dismissed on Monday.
Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in the order dismissing the claim that Trump had failed to prove that the statements Carroll made following the verdict in May were “not at least substantially true.
