The judge, who on Thursday rejected Trump’s arguments that the grand jury subpoena from district attorney Cyrus Vance was 'wildly overbroad,' said the U.S. President failed to justify a stay
U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to deliver remarks at the 2020 Council for National Policy Meeting, at the Ritz Carlton, in Arlington, Va., on Aug. 21, 2020.A federal judge on Friday denied Donald Trump’s request to delay allowing the Manhattan district attorney to obtain his tax returns while the U.S. president appeals.
The Manhattan judge said Trump failed to show his appeal would likely succeed, or that he would be irreparably harmed without a stay but Trump’s tax returns are unlikely to become public before the Nov. 3 presidential election.“Because a grand jury is under a legal obligation to keep the confidentiality of its records, the court finds that no irreparable harm will ensue from the disclosure to it of the President’s records sought here,” Marrero wrote.
In Thursday’s ruling, Marrero said throwing out the subpoena to Trump’s accounting firm Mazars USA would effectively give the president immunity from Vance’s criminal probe, to which the U.S. Supreme Court had in July said he was not entitled.
