Donald Trump's attorney says the president cannot not be investigated or prosecuted as long as he is in office, even for shooting someone on Fifth Avenue
NEW YORK - A lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump told a federal appeals court Wednesday the president does not have to hand over his tax returns to New York state prosecutors because he is immune from criminal investigation.
The case, which pits Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance against Trump, is one of several legal battles in which the Republican president is seeking to shield his personal finances from scrutiny. “We view the entire subpoena as an inappropriate fishing expedition not made in good faith,” Consovoy, a lawyer for Trump, told the three-judge panel on Wednesday.
Dunne assured the court that if Vance’s office obtained the tax returns, they would be kept confidential. The 2nd Circuit has put U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero’s Oct. 7 order on hold until it considers the case. Vance’s office has agreed not to enforce its subpoena for 10 days if the court rules in its favor, to give Trump time to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
