NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is dealing with another legal setback in New York. A judge refused Thursday to throw out a subpoena seeking Trump’s testimony in a civil investigation of his business affairs by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The ruling won’t be the last word in the matter. Trump’s lawyers can still appeal.

The Manhattan district attorney is working on a parallel criminal probe into the Trump Organization.
