A federal judge in Manhattan spiked President Trump’s attempt to block a New York City prosecutor from obtaining his tax and financial records
A federal judge in New York City spiked President Donald Trump’s attempt to block a Manhattan prosecutor from obtaining his tax and financial records from the accounting firm Mazars, dismissing his "extraordinary" claim to be immune from criminal investigation.
The 2nd Circuit’s brief order indicated a three-judge panel would conduct “expedited review” of whether a stay pending the outcome of the appeal is appropriate. But Marrero rejected the notion that any evidence suggests Vance Jr.'s subpoena was issued in "bad faith" or that New York courts would now be equipped to adjudicate the president's challenge.
He noted that the argument a sitting president cannot be indicted often relies entirely on these memos, which don't carry the force of law or legal precedent. Marrero's comments on the DOJ memos — which have been a feature of Trump's legal arguments against investigations into him, his company and his associates — are some of the first made by a federal judge. And he notes that the memos based on hypothetical circumstances and "hyperbolic horrors" conjured by DOJ lawyers.
