Donald J. Trump v. Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.

Case Number: 1:19-cv-08694-VM

Judge: Victor Marrero

Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (New York County)

Plaintiff's Attorney: Alan Samuel Futerfas, Marc Lee Mukasey, Patrick Strawbridge, William Consovoy

Defendant's Attorney: New York County District Attorney's Office

Description:




New York, NY - Donald J. Trump sued Cyrus Jr., in his official as District of Attorney of the County of New York seeking an injunction preventing the Defendant from obtaining the company and personal tax returns for Mr. Trump and his companies for an eight year period from his accounting firm.

Mr. Trump's lawyers are reported to be basing their case on the argument that the President of the United States cannot be criminally investigate while in office and that the Constitution effectively makes his immune.

The Constitution does not explicitly say that presidents are shielded from criminal inquiries and not federal appellate court has ever explicitly addressed the issue. Setting presidents are, however, subject to civil suits while still in office.
