SUPREME COURT/TRUMP TAXES: “President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to block lower court ruling that would give the Manhattan District Attorney’s office access to years of his income tax returns.

Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court asking the court to issue a stay, or suspension, of a grand jury subpoena demanding those tax returns and other financial records from his accountants…

Vance is seeking the tax returns and other records as part of a probe that is known to be eyeing how hush money payments to women who say they had sex with Trump were accounted for by the Trump Organization… Prosecutors in Vance’s office also might be investigating possible tax crimes, as well as bank and insurance fraud, court filings suggest.”
