Former President Donald Trump’s tax returns and underlying tax documents are now in the hands of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.
The subpoena for Trump’s tax documents from Mazars USA was enforced on Monday and Vance’s office now has them, a spokesperson for Vance’s office, Danny Frost, told NBC News on Thursday.
The subpoena was enforced after the Supreme Court declined on Monday to stop their production following an emergency application from Trump’s attorneys.
In that ruling Monday, the high court declined to block a New York grand jury from getting Trump's personal and corporate tax returns, a decisive defeat in his long legal battle to keep his tax records out of investigators' hands.
The ruling doesn't mean the returns will become public any time soon, and they might never be publicly released. Under New York state law, materials turned over to a grand jury must be kept secret.
But Vance has now compelled Trump's accountants to turn over the records that Trump has steadfastly refused to surrender to prosecutors or Congress.
Vance was seeking tax returns covering eight years for a grand jury investigation of hush money payments and other financial transactions. The investigation began after it was disclosed that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her claim that she had an affair with Trump, an allegation he has denied.
Cohen also alleged to Congress that the Trump Organization sometimes lied about its financial condition to evade taxes or obtain favorable loan terms.

And Freepers were so optimistic about the last justice installed. Now we know.
Pack the court NOW! We’d be better off.
Not a New York Times story yet? I’m sure they have the leaked info.
And there’s nothing there or he never would have run for office even the “bombshell” Ny Times report during the campaign if you are to believe it really was his taxes...said quietly in late October yeh Trump did nothing wrong
Can we demand the the Biden family hand over their tax returns, please?
Well, get after the returns of the prosecutors, their families’ returns too.
Let’s go.
“But Vance has now compelled Trump’s accountants to turn over the records that Trump has steadfastly refused to surrender to prosecutors or Congress.”
Trump’s accountants compelled rather quickly.
Should have told Vance to get lost.
EVERY darn agency is out to get anyone Trump. Furious. So, what they're saying is....... gee golly IRS didn't take a good enough look, so we're sicking a grand jury on Trump's tax returns? Plus some vindictive low life Southern District of New Yawk also?
It was court ordered, silly.
If Trump runs again, he needs to omit Cavanaugh and Barrett from his list of accomplishments.
That will require a Republican district attorney in a state where the Bidens have done business.
How many days until the returns are leaked to the media?
I’m going with 6.
Those tax returns are so complex that the news media would have no idea what they mean. Do you think that anybody in the news media could explain the Alternative Minimum Tax and tax preference items? Do they know what a capital loss carryover is? Do they know what a capital loss is? Do you remember when the news media got their hands on Trump’s illegally obtained tax return and reported that he paid only $700 in income taxes? They did not show the entire tax return showing the amount of Alternative Minimum tax paid.
Those records were lost in a tragic boating accident, jour honor......................
There doesn’t have to be “anything there.” Those prosecutors will create a “crime.”
The Court opened up a Pandora’s box, and created more problems for itself, than it resolved. They seem hell-bent on violating the same U.S. Constitution, they took an oath to uphold. I hope the traitors who turned their back on this country, get what they got coming to them. As far as I’m concerned, the Supreme Court has ceded any authority they ever had, and should be looked on as just another kangaroo court.
We’re basically like Russia. The system is corrupt and lawless. The government is run for the benefit of the oligarchs that control it. Political opponents are investigated for all sorts of “crimes.” People are afraid to speak openly.
