Donald Trump rails against the 'continuation of the witch hunt' as Manhattan DA reveals he is probing the Trump Organization for 'insurance and bank fraud' and 'pattern of financial misconduct'

Aug. 4 - President Donald Trump railed against a 'witch hunt' Monday after New York prosecutors seeking his tax returns told a federal court his family company is being probed for alleged fraud.

Trump addressed the case at a White House press briefing after a rambling introduction where he said the coronavirus would 'soon be very much under control.'

He then got asked about the court push, where prosecutors indicated their probes are going well beyond a hush-payment scheme to porn star Stormy Daniels and into complex financial matters related to the company started by Trump's father and overseen by him until he was elected in 2016.
