NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan prosecutor trying to get President Donald Trump’s tax returns told a judge Monday that he was justified in demanding them, citing public reports of “extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.”

纽约（美联社）-曼哈顿检察官试图获得唐纳德·特朗普总统的纳税申报表周一告诉法官，他有理由要求他们这样做，理由是公开报道称“特朗普组织的犯罪行为广泛而持久”。

Trump’s lawyers last month said the grand jury subpoena for the tax returns was issued in bad faith and amounted to harassment of the president.

特朗普的律师上个月表示，陪审团对退税的传票是恶意发出的，构成对总统的骚扰。

Manhattan District Attorney District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. is seeking eight years of the Republican president’s personal and corporate tax records, but has disclosed little about what prompted him to request the records, other than part of the investigation is related to payoffs made to women to keep them quiet about alleged affairs with Trump.

小曼哈顿区检察官塞勒斯·万斯（Cyrus R. Vance，Jr.）正在寻求共和党总统八年的个人和公司税务记录，但除了促使调查人员与所获得的收益相关的部分调查外，他并未透露任何促使他要求提供记录的原因。让妇女对与特朗普的所谓事务保持沉默。

In a court filing Monday, though, attorneys for Vance said Trump's arguments that the subpoena was too broad stemmed from “the false premise” that the probe was limited to so-called “hush-money” payments.

不过，万斯（Vance）的律师在周一的法庭文件中表示，特朗普关于传票过广的论点源于“虚假前提”，即调查仅限于所谓的“嘘声”付款。

“This Court is already aware that this assertion is fatally undermined by undisputed information in the public record,” Vance’s lawyers wrote.

万斯的律师写道：“法院已经意识到，这一说法已被公开记录中毫无争议的信息严重破坏了。”

They said public reporting demonstrates that at the time the subpoena was issues “there were public allegations of possible criminal activity at Plaintiff’s New York County-based Trump Organization dating back over a decade.”

他们说，公开报道表明，传票当时是一个问题，“有十多年以来，原告位于纽约县的特朗普组织曾公开指控可能从事犯罪活动。”

“These reports describe transactions involving individual and corporate actors based in New York County, but whose conduct at times extended beyond New York’s borders. This possible criminal activity occurred within the applicable statutes of limitations, particularly if the transactions involved a continuing pattern of conduct,” the lawyers said.

“这些报告描述了涉及纽约郡的个人和企业参与者的交易，但其行为有时超出了纽约的边界。这种可能的犯罪活动是在适用的时效规定范围内发生的，特别是如果交易涉及持续的行为模式时。”律师说。

The lawyers urged Judge Victor Marrero to swiftly reject Trump's arguments, saying the baseless claims were threatening the investigation. Marrero, who ruled against Trump last year, has scheduled arguments to be fully submitted by mid-August.

律师敦促维克多·马雷罗（Victor Marrero）法官迅速拒绝特朗普的论点，称毫无根据的指控正在威胁调查。去年统治特朗普的Marrero计划在8月中旬全面提交辩论。

“Every day that goes by is another day Plaintiff effectively achieves the ‘temporary absolute immunity’ that was rejected by this Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court," Vance's lawyers said. “Every such day also increases the prospect of a loss of evidence or the expiration of limitations periods — the precise concerns that the Supreme Court observed justified its rejection of Plaintiff’s immunity claim in the first place."

万斯的律师说：“过去的每一天都是原告有效地获得了本法院，上诉法院和最高法院所拒绝的'临时绝对豁免权。证据丢失或时效期限届满-最高法院的确切关注首先证明了其拒绝原告的豁免权要求是合理的。”

The Supreme Court last month rejected claims by Trump’s lawyers that the president could not be criminally investigated while he was in office.

最高法院上个月驳回了特朗普律师关于总统就职期间不会受到刑事调查的指控。

Vance sought the tax records in part for a probe of how Trump’s then-personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, arranged during the 2016 presidential race to keep the porn actress Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal from airing claims of extramarital affairs with Trump. Trump has denied the affairs.

万斯寻求税收记录，部分是为了调查特朗普当时的私人律师迈克尔·科恩（Michael Cohen）在2016年总统大选期间如何安排，以防止色情女演员暴风雨丹尼尔斯和模特儿凯伦·麦克杜格尔（Karen McDougal）避免与特朗普发生婚外情。特朗普否认了此事。

Cohen is serving the last two years of a three-year prison sentence in home confinement after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations and lying to Congress, among other charges. He said he plans to publish a book critical of the president before the November election.

科恩因违反竞选财务罪和向国会撒谎等罪名成立，目前正在家庭监禁中服刑三年，最后两年。他说，他计划在十一月大选之前出版一本批评总统的书。
