The Manhattan district attorney can enforce a subpoena seeking President Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns, a federal appeals panel ruled on Wednesday, dealing yet another blow to the president’s yearlong battle to keep his financial records out of the hands of state prosecutors.

The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel in New York rejected the president’s arguments that the subpoena should be blocked because it was too broad and amounted to political harassment from the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat.

“Grand juries must necessarily paint with a broad brush,” the judges wrote.

They concluded that the president did not show that Mr. Vance had been driven by politics. “None of the president’s allegations, taken together or separately, are sufficient to raise a plausible inference that the subpoena was issued ‘out of malice or an intent to harass,’” they wrote.

4. Until next appeal, trumps lawyers know how to do this well

8. I wonder if after tRump's death his family/estate lawyers can still tie up the courts indefinitely

This is wealth over justice. Wealth wins every time, no matter what they try to sell us in movies. Crime pays!

5. 3 judge panel, as are most circuit court decisions. Now Trump's shysters can ask for the full court

to hear their plaintive wails and/or head for the Supreme court.

Either way will take time.

6. Why is the same question back-n-forth to the courts? Didn't the Supreme Court already rule on this?

This court ping pong is ridiculous.

7. So like, if his tax returns get released and leaked...

there's at least the possibility it can happen right before election day...
