A federal appeals court will hear on Sept. 1, President Donald Trump’s emergency request to put on hold a judge’s ruling that would make it possible for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to enforce a subpoena for his tax returns and other financial records.
Bloomberg reported that the New York appellate court also denied Trump’s request to stay the lower court decision while he appeals to halt the release of records.
Vance had previously agreed not to enforce the subpoena until seven days after the district court ruling — that deadline is set to expire next week.
It remains unclear what will happen to the subpoena in the interim between the August 28 deadline and next month’s hearing. Trump could potentially call on the Supreme Court to place an immediate hold on the subpoena.
The ruling, comes after Trump’s lawyers immediately appealed U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero’s decision rejecting an earlier attempt to shield Trump’s tax returns.
Friday’s ruling is the latest development in an effort begun by Vance’s office last year to subpoena accounting firm Mazars USA for eight years of Trump’s personal and business records as well as his tax returns. Prosecutors have said the documents are essential to their investigation into the Trump Organization.
What is in Trump’s tax return that he is so desperate to hide and keeps on delaying his promise to show his tax return “very soon”?
While Trump’s delay in his tax returns is public info/justice denied…
Trump’s delays in Covid-19 response lead to a lot of unnecessary Covid deaths!
Meanwhile…at least justice was not denied to Stormy:
I think Fat Nixon’s attorneys are really taxing the patience of the judge. To the point of no returns.
Petulance really needs to be dealt with immediately, strongly, and with no options to avoid the consequences.
I’m thinking the Supreme Court has had enough of Trump’s tax returns tantrums. They’ve heard the case and ruled. Those tax returns are going to be before a grand jury real soon now. I can’t wait for the leaks to start.
If trump looks guilty of tax fraud and laundering Russian mafia drug money and paying off prostitutes while his wife is pregnant, lying on bank loans…it goes on and on. "I Just Can’t Take It Anymore! "
