Federal Judge Tosses Trump’s Attempt to Hide Tax Records From Manhattan DA
On Thursday, a New York judge dismissed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. The lawsuit was an attempt to prevent DA Cy Vance Jr. from subpoenaing Trump’s financial records.
District Judge Victor Marrero ruled that Trump was unable to prove the subpoena would be an “unfair burden,” NBC New York reported. Marrero criticized Trump for a “bad faith” argument for “absolute immunity through a back door,” when a month ago the Supreme Court ruled against Trump’s claim he had total immunity as president.

The Manhattan DA has indicated it has opened criminal investigations into the Trump Organization for a variety of monetary crimes.
