The filing in federal court in Manhattan was in response to a motion by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance to dismiss the new challenge to the subpoena without delay

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference at his golf resort in Bedminster, N.J., on Aug. 8, 2020.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 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.

Vance’s filings have suggested the investigation involved “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization,” the president’s business, including alleged insurance and bank fraud. A spokesman for Vance said the district attorney will respond in court papers. His reply is due on Friday.

2 bad trump. Time is coming soon The world hates Donald Trump.

Why do you care about a business man making billions in the private sector. I can about the criminals making billions off the backs of the public sector.

Time to go DONNIE.

The only Politician on earth to finally do something about the Child raping freaks. Find something else to whine about.

More concerned about Trudeau's corruption than I am any foreign leader.

No Trump is a crook that's why he doesn't want them to see his tax records.

A leader with apparently nothing to hide doesn’t work this hard to hide his tax returns.

His days of freedom are numbered

Don't really care what Trump says. I do care, however, the Yanks that love the guy. Let's not forget the vast murdering by Obama!
