Ukraine scandal diverts media from WORSE Trump crimes!

Trump Sues Manhattan Prosecutor Over Tax Returns, Says Immune From Criminal Probe

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.

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.
