The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a plea from former President Trump to block New York state prosecutors from accessing his tax returns.
The decision allows Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance to gain copies of Trump’s personal financial records from lenders and accountants used by the former president for his business.
A New York state grand jury first issued the criminal subpoena in August 2019. The subpoena has been bogged down in the federal court system as Trump fought to block access to his financial records since then.
In the one-sentence decision, the court declined to hear the appeal from Trump in the case. There were no known dissents in the matter.
“The application for a stay presented to Justice Breyer and referred to the Court is denied.”
We’re gonna be winning so much, we won’t be able to stand it.
