Manhattan prosecutor agrees to shelve subpoena for Trump tax returns
The Hill ^ | Aug. 24, 2020 | John Kruzel

Manhattan’s top prosecutor on Monday agreed to delay enforcement of a subpoena for eight years of President Trump’s tax returns.

Cyrus Vance Jr., the Democratic district attorney for Manhattan, had the legal right as of this Friday to enforce a New York grand jury subpoena to obtain a lengthy financial paper trail that includes Trump’s corporate and personal tax records.

But Vance has agreed to temporarily shelve the subpoena against Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA. The delay allows for another round of litigation, extending the nearly yearlong court battle over the subpoena in which Trump has lost every bout, including a landmark decision last month at the Supreme Court.

The deal between the Manhattan district attorney’s office and Trump’s lawyers comes after a federal district judge in New York last week denied Trump’s latest bid to invalidate the subpoena.

Within hours, Trump's personal attorneys asked the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to halt the judge’s ruling from taking effect while they mount an appeal. The appeals court denied Trump's request for an emergency stay.

The developments freed up Vance’s office to pursue Trump’s taxes as early as this Friday, following a weeklong lag that Vance had previously agreed to. But instead of executing the subpoena for Trump’s records, Vance agreed to delay things further.

The Hill staff, Trump doesn’t lose any round where his private
papers are not delivered.

Got it?

That is a point that should be made over and over. Small-Minded jealous people are gleeful about witch hunts against PDJT. We hard working responsible conservatives believe that witch hunts are wrong.

Every time I see one of the left’s “love trumps hate” signs I think you’re right and you leftists are the haters.

Maybe they found out how much Trump donates to charity and they knew it would embarrass them them and help Trump.
