The justices’ initial consideration of cases regarding Donald Trump's financial records has been accelerated
1976 every American president has willingly made at least some tax information public—and other than Gerald Ford, who released only summaries, all have shared at least one year of their returns with the public. Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to release his, too, but nearly three years into his presidency, the public has seen only two partial returns that have been leaked to the press. No law requires presidents to publicise their taxes.
After Mr Vance subpoenaed Mazars in August, Mr Trump sued to shield his records. On October 7th he lost in a federal district court. Federal courts are typically barred from blocking state criminal investigations, Judge Victor Marrero wrote, and Mr Trump’s “extraordinary claim” that presidents enjoy “absolute immunity from criminal process of any kind” entails a “virtually limitless” privilege that runs counter to “the nation’s constitutional plan”.
Mr Trump’s lawyers say this position is “unimaginable”. Permitting state and local prosecutors to shower a president with a storm of subpoenas “interferes with the president’s ability to execute his duties” and is “irreconcilable with our constitutional design”. That the subpoena was issued to Mazars and not to Mr Trump himself “does not alter the calculus,'' the petition reads. “If it did, every local prosecutor in the country could easily circumvent presidential immunity.
