Trump loses tax return subpoena appeal, but his lawyer will ask Supreme Court to stay ruling.
Trump lost an earlier appeal of a similar ruling when he successfully asked the Supreme Court to review the case.
However, the judge quickly denied Trump's new arguments that the subpoena was overbroad and issued in bad faith. That loss triggered Trump's second appeal, which was denied Wednesday. Vance's office already said he would not seek to enforce the subpoena, which was issued in August 2019 by a grand jury, to allow Trump time to exhaust his appeals.In its opinion Wednesday, the panel of judges briskly brushed aside Trump's claims.
"Second, without the benefit of this linchpin assumption, all other allegations of overbreadth — based on the types of documents sought, the types of entities covered, and the time period covered by the subpoena, as well as the subpoena's near identity to a prior Congressional subpoena — fall short of meeting the plausibility standard," the court said.
