TRUMP TAXES: “Manhattan’s top prosecutor on Monday [Aug. 24, 2020] agreed to delay enforcement of a subpoena for eight years of President Trump’s tax returns.
Cyrus Vance Jr., the Democratic district attorney for Manhattan, had the legal right as of this Friday [Aug. 21, 2020] to enforce a New York grand jury subpoena to obtain a lengthy financial paper trail that includes Trump’s corporate and personal tax records.
But Vance has agreed to temporarily shelve the subpoena against Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA. The delay allows for another round of litigation, which will prolong the nearly yearlong court battle over the subpoena in which Trump has lost every bout, including a landmark decision last month at the Supreme Court…
Even if prosecutors manage to obtain the president’s tax returns prior to the November election, it’s unlikely the public will see them before then due to grand jury secrecy rules.”
