Trump Must Turn Over Tax Returns to D.A., Judge Rules

Benjamin Weiser and William K. Rashbaum, reporting for The New York Times:

A federal judge on Thursday rejected President Trump’s latest effort to block the Manhattan district attorney from obtaining his tax returns, roundly dismissing Mr. Trump’s arguments that the prosecutor’s grand jury subpoena was “wildly overbroad” and issued in bad faith.

The ruling by Judge Victor Marrero of Federal District Court in Manhattan marked another setback for the president in his yearlong fight to block the subpoena.

You hate to see it.
