Trump loses tax returns appeal and now looks to Supreme Court

CBS News  

New York — President Trump's tax returns can be turned over to state criminal investigators, a federal appeals court in New York ruled Monday. After the ruling, Mr. Trump's personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, told CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid he plans to take the lawsuit to the U.S. Supreme Court because "the issue raised in this case go to the heart of our Republic." The appeals panel's decision upholds a lower-court ruling that rejected Mr. Trump's lawsuit seeking to block his accountant from letting a grand jury see his tax records from 2011. AP While the president's lawyers argue that the Constitution prohibits states from subjecting the U.S. president to criminal process while he is in office, Vance's attorneys argue that the records being sought relate to business and financial matters rather than official presidential acts by Mr. Trump and primarily stem from the time period before he took office.
