TRUMP TAXES: “President Donald Trump’s battle with Manhattan prosecutors entered a new phase Friday [Aug. 21, 2020] as lawyers for the president filed an emergency motion with an appeals court to stop the release of his tax returns…
In the emergency motion, Trump’s lawyers asked the court to impose an immediate stay on the case, which would cause an immediate halt in the proceedings even before it makes a decision on whether a freeze is justified for the entirety of the appellate case…
Even if the appeals court rules against Trump, he still has one more shot at blocking the release of his financial documents by asking the Supreme Court to intervene.
The high-stakes case has been playing out since August 2019.”
