Donald Trump will get a chance next week to try new arguments against Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vances subpoena of his tax returns and other financial records after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the presidents claim of immunity in the matter.
The high court on Thursday said presidents do not have broad protections against state criminal investigations. The case was sent back to U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan, who set a July 16 hearing date.
Vance is seeking the records from Trumps accounting firm, Mazars LLP, as part of a grand jury investigation into hush-money payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who says she had a sexual relationship with Trump about a decade before he became president. Trump has denied the affair and called the probe politically-motivated harassment.
No citizen, not even the president, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the 7-2 ruling denying the presidents claim of immunity.

The case against Trump is moving now. Deutsche bank has already announced they are turning over their records. Billy Barr can not stop this one. The wheels are already in motion.
Trump knows he is in trouble and will do every dirty thing he can. The pardoning of Roger Stone is just the beginning. Michael Cohen refusing to sign a DND brief resulting him being sent back to prison is going to be an explosive case.
Mary Trumps book is already out. So is Boltons . Cohen is the new John Dean.
The walls are caving in on Trump. His denial of Health Experts.,70,000 new cases. Republicans rejecting him. He has no friends,only toadies, and they will scatter like cockroaches.
Just wait a while. Whether Trump will resign, lose, go completely bonkers is the question now.
