Trump Sues Manhattan Prosecutor Over Tax Returns, Says Immune From Criminal ProbeSept. 19, 2019, at 10:34 a.m.
BY JONATHAN STEMPEL AND Karen Freifeld of US News
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Donald Trump sued Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance on Thursday, seeking to void a subpoena for eight years of tax returns related to a criminal probe into the U.S. president and his family business.
The lawsuit deepens Trump's efforts to keep his finances under wraps, despite having promised during his 2016 White House run that he would disclose his tax returns.

As surprising as it is, many, upon many Americans are listening and watching what this asshole, WH, and Republican party are doing.

While you are entitled to your opinion, it might change your views.

(21,568 posts)2. There is no such thing as "immune from criminal probe"
Except for foreign diplomats and persons who have made an immunity agreement with prosecutors, but that usually means you did something wrong but they immunize you so they can go after a bigger fish.
Other than that there is nothing more n any statute or the Constitution that immunize anyone from investigations.
