Federal appeals court: Trump must turn over tax records to New York prosecutor
(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump’s accountant must turn over his tax records to Manhattan prosecutors, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday, upholding a lower court’s decision to reject the president’s latest efforts to block a grand jury subpoena for his financial records.
The court said a stay of the lower court’s decision will remain in effect so Trump’s attorneys can appeal to the Supreme Court. The matter may not be fully resolved before the November election.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the president’s claims that the grand jury subpoena was overly broad and issued in bad faith. The ruling is yet another blow to Trump, who has dismissed the investigation as a political “witch hunt” and has fought all the way to the Supreme Court to keep his financial records private.
