Trump Loses Tax Records Court Fight
President Donald Trump has just lost a court fight to keep his tax records secret from New York.
Bloomberg News reports a federal judge has just ruled Trump cannot stop his accountants from handing over eight years of tax records to the Manhattan District Attorney. D.A. Cyrus Vance is investigating if the Trump Organization falsified business records related to hush money payoffs to at least two women.
“Unless Trump can quickly win a delay or reversal of the ruling, Vance could soon start receiving the material,” Bloomberg adds in an update. “The president is already appealing the decision.”
UPDATE: 10:58 AM –
And, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals (fed'l) has just stayed any more activity by the DA while the fed'l appeal is pending. I don't read anything into this, it's pretty standard. pic.twitter.com/TGEBZx2G9B
