The transcript discusses a legal battle involving President Trump and a subpoena for his tax returns issued by the New York County District Attorney's Office. The subpoena seeks eight years of Trump's personal and business tax returns as part of an investigation into hush money payments. Trump sued the district attorney, claiming that a criminal investigation against a sitting president is unconstitutional. However, New York prosecutors argued against this claim, stating that the law does not provide such immunity. They filed a motion to dismiss Trump's request for a temporary restraining order. Oral arguments are scheduled for Wednesday.
