The court ordered Trump to file tax returns for 8 years with New York prosecutors

On October 7, a federal judge ruled that US President Donald Trump should file New York State Attorneys' tax returns for the 8 year period.

Решение было принято после того, как офис окружного прокурора Манхэттена направил повестку в суд в бухгалтерскую фирму Трампа, Mazars USA — из-за личных и корпоративных налогов президента, начиная с 2011 года, пишет Business Insider.

Trump's team of lawyers, in turn, tried to block the subpoena, arguing that the incumbent has immunity for the criminal investigation.

U.S. District Court judge Victor Marrero wrote in a ruling that the president’s argument is “extraordinary” and “contrary to government structure and constitutional values.” The judge dismissed the claim of Trump’s defenders

The president’s lawyers said they would appeal the decision.

The Manhattan District Attorney subpoena was part of a broader investigation into whether the Trump organization violated New York State laws and whether it was connected with secret payments of money to women who claimed to have ties to Trump.

It is reported that the investigation began after federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York officially closed a criminal investigation into such payments in July.

Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime personal lawyer, pleaded guilty to a federal investigation on several counts: bank fraud, tax evasion, and campaign finance disruption. He is serving a three-year sentence in federal prison. CNN reported last month that state attorneys have already interviewed Cohen as part of their investigation.

The payments that are under investigation were made by adult film actress Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Cohen admitted that he assisted in both cases, but said that he did so at the direction of Trump. In addition to involving the president in the scheme, Cohen provided investigators and lawmakers with documentary evidence that Trump and other senior executives were aware of the payments.

Cohen also testified to Congress earlier this year that Allen Weisselberg, a longtime chief accountant for the Trump Organization, witnessed Trump's direct involvement in Clifford’s illegal payments for silence. Cohen said he and Weisselberg were both at Trump’s office when Trump “told us to return to Weisselberg’s office and deal with these [$ 130 000 paid by Daniels].”

In the end, the president was not charged: it is unclear due to lack of evidence or due to the Department of Justice guidelines that protect the state leader from such charges.
