A Brooklyn man appears to be having fun with former President Donald Trump’s lawyers who wrongly subpoenaed him during his trial in Stormy Daniels’ “hush-hush” money case.
Trump, 77, has denied a 34-count indictment against him for falsifying business records regarding a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels for their alleged affair.
Attorney Todd Blanche, representing the ex-president in the case, sent a subpoena in March to a man they believed to be Manhattan investigator Jeremy Rosenberg for records related to the former Trump confidant and fixer Michael Cohen.
Rosenberg investigated financial crimes for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
However, Trump’s defense team appears to have sent the subpoena to Jeremy Rosenberg, a Brooklyn man, who emphasized that he was a different person by emailing them back: “I have no file for you.”

Attorney Todd Blanche, representing the ex-president in the case, sent a subpoena to a man they believed to be Manhattan investigator Jeremy Rosenberg in March seeking records related to the former Trump confidant and fixer Michael Cohen.
However, Trump’s defense team appears to have sent the subpoena to Jeremy Rosenberg, a Brooklyn man, who emphasized that he was a different person by emailing them back: “I have no file for you”.
According to a lawyer’s filing released Monday, he appears to have taken the insolence even further.
He writes: “PS – The phone number you provided has been disconnected” before adding “PPS – I’m keeping the fifteen dollars” in reference to the amount the lawyers sent him so he could send them the documents by mail.
Blanche complained that the Rosenberg they were trying to reach had demonstrated a “casual” attitude toward the proceedings.
However, prosecutor Matthew Colangelo says his team believes they have the wrong person.
“People spoke with Mr. Rosenberg’s attorney, who informed people that Mr. Rosenberg had not in fact received a subpoena, that Mr. Rosenberg had not corresponded with Mr. Rosenberg’s attorney defense and that Mr. Rosenberg had no connection to the Brooklyn address where the subpoena was allegedly served,” Colangelo said in the filing.
Members of Rosenberg’s team that Trump wants to speak to want to question him about his suspension in 2023 for sharing his communications about Cohen with Bragg’s office, according to the New York Post.
He previously worked on the office’s prosecution of Trump ally Steve Bannon.
An NYPD detective for 20 years before joining the DA’s office, he left at the end of 2023, according to his LinkedIn page.

On Monday, parts of Donald Trump’s real estate empire will be at stake. Jury selection is also set to begin in the Stormy Daniels “hush” money case.
The payment to Daniels was made just days before the 2016 election and prosecutors say it was an illegal campaign contribution.
The trial was scheduled to begin March 25, but was postponed until at least mid-April after the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office released more than 200,000 pages of evidence from its investigation into Michael Cohen, the former Trump’s personal lawyer.
Trump and his lawyers also criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case, for trying to bury information that could damage Cohen’s credibility.
If the trial proceeds, it will be the first of four criminal cases Trump faces.
He is charged with election interference in a Washington court over his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, but the case is on hold pending a Supreme Court ruling on his immunity.
Trump faces trial in Florida for mishandling classified materials, but the trial is mired in delays and a tentative trial date this summer appears unlikely.
He is also accused of interfering in Georgia’s elections, but no date has yet been set and prosecutors have been ensnared by allegations of inappropriate behavior.
Trump said he didn’t have the money to pay, even though he claimed he was worth billions of dollars.
Former President Donald Trump appears in Manhattan Supreme Court for a hearing in his upcoming secret trial filed by prosecutor Alvin Bragg.
Lawyers for the former president asked for a delay after the U.S. attorney’s office released more than 100,000 pages of new evidence, saying they needed more time to review the documents.
New York State Attorney General Letitia James has already moved to seize Seven Springs, Trump’s golf course and private estate just north of Manhattan.
Trump could receive a massive boost when his social media company Truth Social goes public, which could net him $3.5 billion.
But this windfall would only remain on paper for at least six months due to laws that prohibit it from selling too early.
