Lawyers for realDonaldTrump will ask a federal appeals court to block the Manhattan district attorney from accessing the US president's tax returns in connection with a criminal probe of his business practices.

New York - Lawyers for Donald Trump will ask a federal appeals court on Tuesday to block the Manhattan district attorney from accessing the US president's tax returns in connection with a criminal probe of his business practices.

The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan is scheduled at 10 a.m. EDT to hear oral arguments on Trump's motion to delay the subpoena.In July, the Supreme Court refused to block the subpoena, rejecting Trump's claim of immunity from criminal probes while in the White House, but said he could raise other objections.

Vance, a Democrat, began his probe after news that Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen had paid pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels $130 000 to keep quiet before the 2016 election about claimed sexual encounters with Trump, which the president has denied.
