President Trump’s attorneys say he is shielded from having to reveal his financial records. The federal judges don’t appear impressed by the argument.

Three judges on a federal appeals panel appeared inclined Wednesday to reject arguments that President Trump’s tax returns can’t be given to a state grand jury, with Trump’s lawyers suggesting that local authorities should even let the president get away with shooting someone.

The U.S. Supreme Court will probably have the last word on whether Trump can shield himself from Manhattan Dist. Atty. Cyrus R. Vance Jr.'s efforts to explore the president’s financial records since 2011, including his tax returns. The exchange was a reference to a claim made by Trump when he was campaigning for president in January 2016 and said support for his campaign would not waver even if he shot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

Trump appealed after a lower-court judge tossed out his challenge to Vance’s subpoena of his financial records from his longtime accountant.

We need to seriously address the power of the Presidency after this idiot is out of office!

Thomas Jefferson killed someone for treason on the White House law so 100% the President can shoot a traitor or an enemy combatant. He must defend this nation from enemies foriegn or Domestic.

Which lawyer? The anonymous one?

Fake News panicing a bit? Makes me wonder how deep the corruption goes w/in halls of Congress, CIA, FBI, NSA, AND the Media.

Why wouldn’t he be able to get away with it? Look at HRC crime machine. Or how about Comey,Clapper or the evil Brennan Connect the dots idiot

Did you just asked a tax lawyer this manslaughter question? Brilliant!

To Trump:

Let's test that. I'm sure Don Jr would volunteer if his dad asked

LAT your behind times. The new trump attack is democrats hoax to impeach trump! Get with it!

EvangForTrump Is this what you need to see

Well, duh! I mean, Trumpy told us this himself lo those “many” years ago. Whether or not the murder would have to happen on 5th Avenue is unknown. In any case, apparently, it’s not about him being President, it’s just him being...him, which means he can do whatever he wants. Oy!

Might as well try to take over the world then.

Now do the tens of thousands George Bush killed or got killed.

'When you're in a hole, stop digging': Clinton lawyer Greg Craig to President TrumpBill Clinton's impeachment lawyer ABC News' 'The Investigation' podcast that President Trump's legal strategy to combat his impeachment inquiry is doing 'enormous damage' cute LMAO I think I've heard 3 dozen pundits use that very same cliché over the last week. It's funny how they all use the same one-liners... almost as if it's propaganda saturation. Pathetic.
