Judge rejects Trump challenge to Manhattan DA’s subpoena for tax returns

(Worthy News) – A federal judge rejected President Trump’s challenge to a Manhattan district attorney’s subpoena for his financial records, including his tax returns, a month after the president’s loss at the Supreme Court.

Less than 75 days until Election Day, Judge Victor Marrero of the Southern District of New York released a 103-page ruling on Thursday siding with Cyrus Vance, the district attorney of New York County, and tossing out the president’s efforts to continue the fight at the district court level by dismissing the Trump legal team’s effort to push for a second amended complaint in the protracted legal battle.

“The concept of temporary absolute immunity would bear adverse consequences for the fair and effective administration of justice. Theoretically, if reelected, a President could be in office for eight years, perhaps longer in the case of a President who assumes office to fill a vacancy in the presidency. For a prosecutor to wait until then to obtain vital records necessary for an investigation of potential criminal conduct would risk that key witnesses would no longer be available and that their memories of the events would have significantly dimmed,” Marrero said. “In that event not only the President but also any private individual accomplices implicated in serious crimes could escape being brought to justice, while potentially innocent persons snared in the scandal may be unable to gain official exculpation.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
