BREAKING: Supreme Court rules Pres. Donald Trump cannot block a subpoena for his financial records sought by a New York prosecutor, ruling he is not immune from criminal investigation. https://t.co/F6tN5A3Lcc— ABC News (@ABC) July 9, 2020
So what criminal investigation is there? Which NY prosecutor?
From article:
The justice sent the New York case back to a lower court in the 7-2 decision.
The majority rejected the president’s claims of absolute immunity from criminal investigative process and affirms the ability of the Manhattan DA to subpoena he president’s financial records — but the court returns the matter back to a lower court for further proceedings to allow the president to “raise further arguments as appropriate.”
More from link, should have scrolled down and added:
In Trump v. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Vance says 10 years of Trump’s tax returns are legitimately sought by a grand jury in a probe that involves possible violations of state tax law.
:: he is not immune from criminal investigation. ::
We knew that but, no crime has been filed/stated.
The tax records are being sought to determine if a crime was committed.
