A federal appeals court ruled that Donald Trump’s tax returns must be turned over to a local grand jury in Manhattan
A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump’s tax returns must be turned over to a local grand jury in Manhattan — a legal blow for the president's attempts to stymie a broad array of investigations.that the president is not immune from investigative steps taken by state prosecutors, such as a grand jury subpoena. Trump now plans to go to the Supreme Court to try to block the disclosure, said Jay Sekulow, an attorney for the president.
“The President has not persuasively explained why, if executive privilege did not preclude enforcement of the subpoena issued in Nixon, the Mazars subpoena must be enjoined despite seeking no privileged information and bearing no relation to the President’s performance of his official functions,” Katzmann wrote.
“The subpoena seeks only the President’s private tax returns and financial information relating to the businesses he owns in his capacity as a private citizen. These documents do not implicate, in any way, the performance of his official duties,” Katzmann added. Katzmann also appeared to tweak Trump for departing from the tradition in recent decades of presidents making their tax returns public.
