US appeals court rules President Donald Trump must hand over eight years of his tax returns to prosecutors
US President Donald Trump pauses while speaking during the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition at the McCormick Place Convention Centre in Chicago, Illinois, on October 28, 2019.
The federal judges, however, refused to take a position on claims by Trump's attorneys that as America's leader he is immune from any criminal investigation."This appeal does not require us to consider whether the president is immune from indictment and prosecution while in office, nor to consider whether the president may lawfully be ordered to produce documents for use in a state criminal proceeding," the judges added.
Vance is investigating payments made by Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress who claimed to have had a sexual liaison with Trump before he ran for president in 2016.
