The New York City judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s hush-money case has denied a defense request to subpoena several forms of documents from adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

In a four-page ruling late Wednesday, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan said the 45th president’s requests were “overbroad” attempts to conduct discovery with a subpoena.

Both Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and counsel for Daniels — a likely state’s witness in the ongoing trial who uses her given name, Stephanie Clifford, in court filings — previously filed motions to quash the subpoena issued by the defense in late March.
