The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for New York prosecutors to obtain eight years of financial records from the accountants and bankers of former President Trump as part of a criminal fraud and tax investigation involving him and the Trump Organization.issued by a New York grand jury on the grounds they were overly broad and politically motivated.
Michael Cohen, a former lawyer and fixer who worked for the former president, testified that Trump regularly inflated the value of his holdings when he was seeking loans and deflated the value of the same assets to lower his taxes. Making false statements on loan documents or tax filings can be prosecuted as fraud.During the 2016 presidential campaign, Cohen said, he also arranged hush money payments to two women who had affairs with Trump.
In July, the high court rejected Trump’s broad claim that he was immune from a criminal investigation so long as he was the president. But the 7-2Trump’s lawyers went back before the same judges in New York to argue that the subpoenas were politically motivated. They lost again in September and again went back to the Supreme Court on Oct. 13 asking for a further delay.This case involves “the first state subpoena issued to a sitting president,” they said at the time.

So tired of hearing about the worlds biggest bankrupt loser, former president and his taxes. Must be pretty jacked-up if he needs to hide them for 8 years now. The Art of The Deal or Poo Poo?
