Trump's attempt to block a subpoena for his tax returns was rejected by federal judge, another blow to keeping his financial records private
WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump's effort to block a Manhattan prosecutor's subpoena for his tax returns, another major loss for Trump, who has cast the investigation as a political witch hunt and has fought all the way to the Supreme Court to keep his financial records private.Supreme Court ruled
The president argued that the grand jury subpoena is overly broad and was issued in bad faith. His attorneys focused on the"uniqueness" of Trump's job, arguing he is"constitutionally different" from other branches of government and deserves special treatment. "Certainly ... the President holds a unique position in the country's constitutional system, and hence merits utmost respect to check unjustified encroachment on presidential powers and duties, and so prevent impairing the President's ability to discharge executive branch functions," Marrero wrote in his 103-page opinion.
