In a written order issued on Friday, Judge Juan Merchan granted prosecutors' motion to quash a subpoena from Donald Trump's lawyers. The subpoena sought to compel former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to turn over additional records.
Merchan deemed Trump's request for 'all Documents' spanning a 13-month period from various individuals as overly broad and labeled it an improper fishing expedition. The topics covered in the request included 'Cohen's recollection of interactions with President Trump' and 'any form of bias or animosity toward President Trump.'
