WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday wrote off as part of a witch hunt against him a filing by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance earlier in the day raising the scope of an investigation into the Trump Organization.

Vance on Monday suggested a grand jury subpoena for U.S. Trump’s tax returns was part of an investigation of “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization,” including alleged insurance and bank fraud.
