(Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Monday filed a new challenge to the Manhattan district attorney's subpoena for his tax returns, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court said the president was not immune from state criminal probes.

In a second amended complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Trump's lawyers argued that the subpoena was "wildly overbroad," and was issued in "bad faith" and amounts to "harassment."

The subpoena "is so sweeping that it amounts to an unguided and unlawful 'fishing expedition' into the President's personal and financial dealings," Trump's lawyers wrote in the complaint.

Trump, who is seeking re-election on Nov. 3, asked the court to declare the subpoena invalid.

1. Fishing without a guide. Who hasn't done that?

Total bullshit.

2. Sounds like the same arguments the judge rendered an opinion on previously...

and, if so, I'd bet they will be rather pissed.

3. He's admitting there's a lot to hide.

Like pleading the Fifth, it's an admission of guilt.

If Trump had nothing to hide, it would've been out there years ago. He's stalling until after the election.

He's forgetting about the NY folks for when he's a private citizen. Keep rolling those dice, idiot.

4. This could go on for decades, and that is the strategy. He will be dead before we see anything.

And at that point, WTF cares? Sorry, but he's been subverting all norms and the law all his life. He is a pro at criminality, and now has control of the AG, DOJ, State, DHS, EPA, HUD, Interior, USPS, NSA, CIA, VA and the only one I'm not sure about is the Armed Forces. We will find out soon enough about that. Don the Con. May you pre-decease Limbaugh.

5. Boil it down to property tax value vs

wealth for bank loans.

6. WHAT? I've been in cryogenic hiatus since November 2016. WTF is going on???

I seem to recall that back in 2016 he said he was releasing his tax returns??!! He hasn't? Why? We were all counting on that.

And what's all this about an impeachment, kids in cages, martial law in cities, and a virus running rampant because of administration failures?

Is America great again? Or have I awakened to a dystopia?

Please, send me back to cryo!

7. The judge needs to throw the book at his attorneys.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

8. pretty much admitting he is a crook !

[Marthe48]

9. Wish the f'n crook would just give it up

n/t

10. crap on trump

11. Innocent people don't fight this hard to keep proof of their innocence hidden...

OTOH guilty people do to hide proof of their guilt or BS/lies.
