New York County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. filed a response to President Donald Trump late Monday afternoon, contesting the forum of the proceedings and arguing that grand jury subpoenas delivered to Trump, his accounting firm and other associates are not bound by the same restrictions as a criminal investigation.

Vance has already agreed to stay the subpoenas until Wednesday afternoon, an agreement that came shortly after Trump filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York arguing that the subpoenas are a politically motivated attack designed to interfere with the power of the presidency.
