This IS a MORE worrisome problem for Donald Trump then House Democrats…
Here at the Bdog I have pointed out that New York State’s Attorney general and now the Manhattan DA are taking more out of Donald Trump then the people in Washington D.C…..
Trump’s lawyers have been able to tie any Federal action. against him in knots …
But down one the state level?
He has had his college shut down…
He has had his foundation shut down and is under the supervision of the state AG’s office …
The Manhattan DA’s office is in court arguing that Donald Trump’s tax returns should have NOTHING to do with the Fed’s….
Trump does have more to worry on this one…
So far he’s kept his tax returns from public scrutiny …
The Manhattan DA wants Trump’s records for a Grand Jury Criminal investigation….
They want tax information from accountants…
They ‘say’ Trump himself has no liability in their case..
President Donald Trump has no “sweeping immunity” from a criminal probe while he remains in office, New York prosecutors said in a court filing Monday urging a federal judge to reject Trump’s effort to block a subpoena for his tax returns.
The prosecutors also challenged the federal court’s jurisdiction in the matter, saying it belongs in state court.
Trump asked a federal court Friday to block a New York grand jury subpoena for eight years of Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns. They are being sought as part of an investigation into hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign to two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump.
Trump’s attorneys have argued that a sitting president can’t be subject to a criminal process while in office and want the federal court to declare the subpoena unconstitutional.
The prosecutors responded in Monday’s filing that Trump is “seeking to invent and enforce a new presidential ‘tax return privilege,’ on the theory that disclosing information in a tax return will necessarily reveal information that will somehow impede the functioning of a President, sufficiently to meet the test of irreparable harm.”
They added that Trump’s claim “is undone by the fact that every President since Jimmy Carter has voluntarily released his tax returns before or upon taking office, which has to date never impeded a President’s ability to serve.”….
