A federal judge in New York rejected Trump's latest challenge to a grand jury subpoena after the US Supreme Court sent the case back to the lower court.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday lost again in his attempt to stop New York prosecutors from getting his tax returns, with a federal judge rejecting the president's latest round of arguments challenging a grand jury subpoena.
"As this Court suggested in its earlier ruling in this litigation, that notion, applied as so robustly proclaimed by the President’s advocates, is as unprecedented and far-reaching as it is perilous to the rule of law and other bedrock constitutional principles on which this country was founded and by which it continues to be governed," the judge wrote.
After the case was sent back by the Supreme Court in July, Trump's lawyers filed a new version of the lawsuit that claimed the subponea was unlawfully overbroad and that prosecutors in New York acted in bad faith in issuing it to his accountant.
"High respect for the President does not imply diminished respect for the ancient functions of the grand jury or the long-established standards governing challenges to its subpoenas," Marrero wrote.
