Question for the LGF lawyers, re: Trump’s tax returns.

There is strong suspicion that the NYT got the documents they’ve published from Marla Maples, or at least from someone close to her. Maples and Trump filed jointly in 1995, and three people signed those documents — Trump, Maples, and the accountant who prepared the returns. The accountant verified they’re real in the NYT story.

Here’s my question — could the reporters be jailed even if they got the documents from Marla Maples and the accountant who signed them verified their authenticity? I don’t know how the law works on this.
