Trump, Manhattan prosecutors to face off over tax returns
NEW YORK, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Lawyers for U.S. President Donald Trump are expected to appear in court on Wednesday to urge a federal judge to block Manhattan prosecutors from obtaining eight years of the president's tax returns as part of a criminal investigation.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance subpoenaed the returns from Trump's longtime accounting firm Mazars USA on Aug. 29.
Earlier this month, Trump sued to block the subpoena, arguing that a president is immune from criminal investigation while in office.
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero is scheduled to hear arguments on whether to block the subpoena on Wednesday morning. Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.
