Trump Sues New York Prosecutors To Block Release Of Tax Returns

President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. and Mazars USA, the president’s longtime accounting firm, in an attempt to prevent his tax returns from being released.

Vance’s office issued a subpoena to Mazars in late August demanding eight years of Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns, The New York Times reported earlier this week. The order is part of state prosecutors’ investigation into whether The Trump Organization illegally reported a hush money reimbursement as a business expense.

The subpoena was issued in state court to an accounting firm, not Donald Trump. A federal lawsuit doesn't seem to be the correct legal remedy.
