Appeals Court out of patience over Trump's taxes
Quote:President Donald Trump’s relentless fight to keep his taxes from Manhattan District Cy Vance could soon reach an end.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals appeared to run out of patience Friday with Trump’s legal challenges to Vance’s subpoenas on his longtime accounting firm.
Although no final ruling was issued, all three judges on the panel were deeply skeptical of arguments by Trump attorney William Consovoy.
Judge Raymond Lohier wondered if there was any subpoena Trump would consider justified.
“Is there a request for documents … that would not, in your view, be overbroad?” Lohier asked.
No, Consovoy replied.
“That’s a problem. You see why that’s a problem,” Lohier said.
"Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat."
