(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday insisted that a grand jury subpoena for his tax returns was overly broad and issued in bad faith and that as president he deserves extra protection from what he called harassment by Manhattan’s district attorney.

In court papers, Trump urged the Manhattan federal court to reject District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s motion to dismiss his lawsuit challenging the subpoena, which covers eight years of his personal and corporate tax records.

In a separate motion, Trump’s lawyer said the president will file another motion asking the court to allow him to learn more about the scope and purpose of Vance’s probe.

Trump has fought efforts by lawmakers and prosecutors to obtain his tax records, which should shed light on his financial dealings. He also defied decades of precedent as a presidential candidate by refusing to release tax returns.

1. Who is paying for all these lawsuits?

If America is footing the bill for all of Trump's self-created
legal actions, I demand a refund for each and every
of the over 4000 cases we have to had to witness.

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. Probably the rubes who donate to the Dotard's campaign.

[mpcamb]

12. Umm, I think it's us.

[getagrip_already]

4. yeah, thats was my first thought....

One of the things they did under mgchann was to hire literally dozens of lawyers to work in the office of white house counsel. It was overtly because of the ussia investigation and looming impeachment. But I'm sure they have been used to harras everyone from stormy daniels to michael cohen to mary trump. Those have zip to do with the wh except for the turd that resides there.

Of course, the wh council is supposed to represent the wh, and not trump personally.

But we all know that story by now. It's been plowed under by multiple crimes per day. What is one more set of felonies......

14. After the impeachment trial was over, did we happen...

to notice any of those lawyers being "sent home"? Or are they still working for him, at our expense?

[machI]

5. Trump is afraid these records will connect him to the Ukraine real estate seizures

Trump is dirty with foreign money coming from Russia and Ukraine. When the public finds out about his unpaid loans from the Ukraine banks, he is toast.

6. If Trump ever paid his lawyers, these people would be making a fortune.

7. In the automotive forward motion industry

this is known as a retread.

He lost on all these points already. Re-nuancing them to stall is a political tactic, and frivolous. Dismiss his Drama Queen charade and get on with it.

8. I thought that the D. Bank has released materials to the NY prosecutors

Deutsche Bank gave Donald Trump financial records to New York prosecutors (article dated Aug. 6, 2020)...

[onetexan]

9. stall tactic

[bluestarone]

10. Just wonder HOW MANY STALL hearings RUMP is allowed?

FUCKING COURTS needs to make a FINAL FUCKING DECISION!!

[groundloop]

11. He'll just sign an executive order declaring he doesn't have to turn over his taxes

[bluestarone]

13. YEP and

NOBODY will stop him!

[iluvtennis]

15. So tired of this shit. Supreme Court ruled on this and time for Manhattan court to rule that

Cyrus Vance gets the tax records. Time to move on from this stall, stall, stall bullshit.
