Recently,
a federal appeals court ruled Trump provide 8 years of tax returns, corporate
and personal, to a state grand jury as a part of a continuous criminal probe.
Manhattan
D.A. Cyrus R. Vance Jr. subpoenaed President Trump’s accounting company Mazars
USA for 8 years of corporate and personal returns. The company acknowledged it’d
‘respect the legal process and completely comply with its legal obligations.’
Trump’s
attorneys, in September, filed a suit to combat Cyrus R. Vance’s attempts, and cited
‘substantial constitutional issues.’
Cyrus
R. Vance’s office issued a subpoena to Trump’s Organization as a part of an
investigation within the $130,000 “hush-money” payment previous Trump attorney M.
Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an affair
with Trump — a claim the president has denied repeatedly.
According
to Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow, in response to subpoenas that were issued by the
NY County D.A., they’ve filed a suit in Federal Court on behalf of Trump to
address the substantial constitutional factors at stake in this court case.
But,
a 3-judge panel in NY recently rejected the president’s argument that he’s
immune as president from criminal investigation when inside the White House and
ruled the company has to provide 8 years of returns to the state grand jury.
The
panel of judges upon the United States Second Circuit of Appeals made a prediction
that the president’s attorneys are pretty sure to appeal the ruling to the United
States Supreme Court. If the president stands down from this legal battle,
Mazars will need to provide the documents that are sought by the NY District Attorney.
Jay
responded to the ruling and stated that Trump’s team is going to be taking the court
case all the way to the Supreme Court.
