Court rules against Trump

New York: A federal appeals court yesterday said Manhattan’s district attorney can enforce a subpoena seeking Donald Trump’s tax returns and other financial records for a criminal probe into the United States president and his businesses.

In a 30 decision, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected the Republican president’s claims that the subpoena was overly broad and amounted to political harassment by Manhattan districtattorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat.

Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Trump, said the president will appeal to the US Supreme Court, and seek a stay against enforcing the subpoena. — Reuters
