The ruling was issued without comment or dissent.

Supreme Court allows release of Trump tax returns to NY prosecutor

By Ariane de Vogue,

The Supreme Court cleared the way for a New York prosecutor to obtain former President Donald Trump's tax returns, dealing a massive loss to Trump who has fiercely fought to shield his financial papers from prosecutors.

The documents will be subject to grand jury secrecy rules that restrict their public release.

The ruling is a bitter loss for Trump, even if the tax records are shielded from public disclosure, after he consistently argued that the subpoena issued by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance was overbroad and issued in bad faith.

It means that the grand jury investigation into alleged hush money payments and other issues will no longer be hampered by Trump's fight to keep ...

This could get interesting because, if what pundits are saying is true, Grabem's valuations go up and down faster and more often than a hooker's drawers on pay day. What I think is funny is that he is being investigated for the same crime he was claiming Meng Wanzhou committed in China.

Does that ruling apply to both sets of books?

"Tax returns" are the documents he submitted to the IRS - as such there can only be one set.

So this doesn't cover the alleged variations in property values?

Those are different documents - the forms he submitted to the IRS would be one set - the documents he submitted to the banks are another set.

Thanks. I expect Deutsche Bank will be co-operating.

Any lawyers left in the northeast that Trump hasn't burned?

The article says

Quote:
The subpoenas span documents from January 2011 to August 2019, including his tax returns, from Mazars.


so it's not clear just how much of Mazars's supporting work and other files NY will have access to.

It really doesn't matter what Mazar's supporting documentation is. All the government needs is the final documents to build a case. Trump would be smart to voluntarily have Mazar's justify Trump's tax returns with supporting documents. Other than that the government could subpoena them or, if they wanted to cut the crap, charge Trump and let him provide them to justify his tax claims. If the government can show that on Wednesday Trump said a particular piece of property was worth $5 million on his taxes and on Thursday he told the bank it was worth $10 million, Trump's got some 'splainin' to do.
