Trump taxes subpoena fight can resume quickly after Supreme Court action

(CNN)The US Supreme Court on Friday formally issued the paperwork that will allow the effort by a Manhattan district attorney to seek President Donald Trump's tax returns to proceed quickly.
While the court ruled last week that the President does not have broad immunity against a state grand jury investigation, it allowed Trump to file additional appeals to block the subpoenas for the tax returns.
However, the court's formal judgments are generally not issued for 25 days, potentially delaying the resumption of the lawsuit at the lower courts.
The district attorney asked for that time to be cut short, and Trump's attorney agreed. On Friday, Chief Justice John Roberts granted the request. Issuing the judgment will allow the legal case to continue more quickly.

(65,168 posts)Not that I've applied for tons of loans, and zero business loans, but I don't even get why anybody would lie at all, absent criminal INTENT.
Which, of course, is a reasonable suspicion in PINO's case.

(54,770 posts)I too don't doubt trump would lie, but I don't know of anyone going after him.
Lying on a loan application won't take trump down.

(65,168 posts)I was questioning your statement that half the people who ever took out loans lied on the application.
I put nothing past that wannabe gangster punk.
