Trump's Efforts to Shield Tax Records Failed | Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr.

Описание: Once again, Donald Trump's efforts have failed in another court. He has shielded his tax returns for four years and through much of it has done so under a subpoena issued to his accounting firm demanding that it give up the returns. Court after court after court has turned down Trump's lawsuits to protect his financial records, but he continues to fight, trying desperately to hide whatever his tax returns will reveal.

This time it was U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero who threw out Trump's lawsuit trying to block the subpoena that his legal team complains is "overbroad" and issued "in bad faith." They compare it to "harassment." Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. has argued that the grand-jury subpoena seeking eight years of Trump's financial records is legally valid and tied to a legitimate criminal investigation.

"The Court finds that the president has not sufficiently pled the subpoena is overbroad or was issued in bad faith in this basis," wrote the judge. This is after the Supreme Court last month gave an opinion that as a sitting president, he is not immune from state court actions or criminal investigations.

Vance is investigating the hush-money payments that were made before the 2016 election to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump. He has denied their claims, but his former attorney, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in prison, partially because of his admission that he took part in the hush-money payments. Vance's office has also suggested it is looking at potential bank and insurance fraud relating to Trump's business interests.
