Trump Continues Legal Battle Over Tax Returns

“President Trump intends to continue his legal fight against the Manhattan district attorney over access to his tax records, according to a court filing Wednesday, and may argue the subpoena he faces is overly broad and motivated by politics,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump recently lost his bid to have the grand jury subpoena tossed on the grounds that as sitting president he has absolute immunity from state court proceedings. The Supreme Court decision last week favored efforts by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., whose office was investigating Trump and his business over hush money payments made to two women during the 2016 presidential campaign, including to pornography actress Stormy Daniels.”

“Vance’s office, which is facing a looming statute of limitations should he decide to pursue a felony case, suggested it would not allow the new matters to drag on.”
