(111,103 posts)From the NYTimes:
A federal judge on Monday rejected a bold argument from President Trump that sitting presidents are immune from criminal investigations, a ruling that allowed the Manhattan district attorneys office to move forward with a subpoena seeking eight years of the presidents personal and corporate tax returns.
Lawyers for Mr. Trump quickly told the court they would appeal the ruling from Judge Victor Marrero of Manhattan federal court. An appeal is likely to mean further delays.
In a 75-page ruling, Judge Marrero called the presidents argument repugnant to the nations governmental structure and constitutional values. Presidents, their families and businesses are not above the law, the judge wrote.

President Donald Trump lost Monday in his effort to stop the release of his personal and corporate tax returns as part of a criminal investigation in New York.
Trumps attorneys immediately appealed the ruling handed down in U.S. district court in lower Manhattan.
In August, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. subpoenaed eight years of the presidents tax returns from accounting firm Mazars USA. The prosecutor is probing hush money payments made to two women, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, ahead of the 2016 election.

Question for his base - didn't he promise you his tax returns? How gullible are you? Why is he hiding them all this time?
