President Trump intends to fight a subpoena for his tax returns and financial records from the Manhattan district attorney after the Supreme Court rejected his claim that he's immune to criminal investigation, the president's lawyers told a judge on Wednesday.

In a status report filed with a federal district court in New York, Trump's legal team said it has other objections to the district attorney's subpoena aside from the one struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this month.

The move will surely draw out the proceedings in the lower court, and the president's attorneys made clear that they intend to raise issues about whether District Attorney Cyrus Vance's subpoenas are overly broad or relevant to a legitimate investigation. They argued that the case requires the two parties to develop a more thorough factual record.

"The President should not be required, for example, to litigate the subpoena's breadth or whether it was issued in bad faith without understanding the nature and scope of the investigation and why the District Attorney needs all of the documents he has demanded," Trump's lawyers wrote.

2. Gawd, those tax returns must be explosive!!!

Thought Deutsch Bank was gonna hand over something. Have they?

[wryter2000]

3. Deutsche Bank

Didn't Deutsche Bank say they'd release whatever they had? Does anyone know what that would include?

[Mike 03]

4. Yes. Deutsche Bank has been saying for months that it is willing to cooperate.

There's a book called Dark Towers by David Enrich that delves deeply into the Deutsche Bank angle; unfortunately I haven't read it but hopefully somebody can explain more about what's included in the DB dump.

5. "trump's legal team said it has other objections to the district attorney's subpoena" - just fkn

ludicrous. Every x weeks they could come up with another objection.

DU Legal eagles - can this continue on like this? When does it end?

[leftieNanner]

6. I'm hoping that the judge can end this charade

I'm also hoping that the SCOTUS decision means they can't appeal it back up the food chain.

They will certainly try to drag this out.

7. thanks for that - agree with you. nt

8. Since when is a DA required to tell anyone about "the nature and scope" of an investigation?

...particularly, the target of the investigation.

Trump's lawyers have NOTHING. Your fat, demented client is going down boys.

9. Discovery Is Necessary Step

In determining the nature and scope of the investigation. Did Trump tax fraud the government when he made hush money payments to two women? Did he write those payments off as a business expense? And what other items did he improperly write off?

These issues are clear cut so the clear cut purpose of this legal action is to stall things until after the election.

10. Those tax returns must contain some very interesting stuff!

What is rumored to be so incriminating, Russian investment, broke?
