Federal judge orders one-day freeze on state subpoena seeking 8 years of President Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns.
A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a one-day freeze on aU.S. District Judge Victor Marrero issued the ruling after an extraordinary court hearing that pittedagainst the president’s attorneys and Manhattan federal prosecutors in a dispute over whether state officials have any authority to bring a legal action against a sitting president.
The case centers on Vance’s attempt to obtain Trump’s tax records as part of a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization about hush money payments made to two women who have alleged affairs with Trump before he became president. The case took a turn Tuesday night when federal prosecutors filed court papers saying they backed Trump’s effort to pause the release of the tax documents. The Manhattan federal prosecutors said the president has raised"weighty constitutional issues" and they want time to review them before deciding whether to join the legal battle.
After hearing the arguments, the judge raised the idea of a compromise — the handing over of records that don’t deal directly with the president. Marrero suggested a model mirroring the Michael Cohen case in which a magistrate is selected to review documents to filter out those specific to the president.Marrero said he’d give the parties one day to see if they can resolve their impasse and agree to a compromise.
