Trump appeals as judge OKs Manhattan DA getting tax returns

Trump appeals as judge OKs Manhattan DA getting tax returns
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for Manhattan’s top prosecutor to get President Donald Trump’s tax returns, rejecting a last-ditch attempt by his lawyers to block a subpoena issued to his accounting firm.
Trump’s lawyers immediately appealed U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero’s decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
Marrero’s ruling echoed his prior decision in the case that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last month.
The high court returned the case to Marrero to give Trump’s lawyers a chance to raise other concerns about the subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.
Messages seeking comment on the ruling were left with Trump’s lawyer and Vance’s office.
Trump, through his lawyers, has argued that the subpoena was issued in bad faith, might have been politically motivated and amounted to harassment of him, especially since the wording mimicked the language in congressional subpoenas.

The truth about Trump will be in his taxes.
