SCOTUS allows Manhattan DA access to eight years of Trump's tax returns
By Howie Katz
SCOTUS. with a 6-3 conservative majority including three Trump appointees, on Monday upheld a lower court's ruling that Mazars USA, the former president's longtime accounting firm, must turn over eight years of Trump's tax returns that have been subpoenaed by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance.
Vance has been probing hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, and on potential bank, tax and insurance fraud, as well as falsification of business records, any one of which could send Trump to prison if convicte.
The three justices that Trump appointed to SCOTUS apparently will not help him to avoid jail time.
In another case SCOTUS ruled on favor of Trump by denying Stormy Daniel the right to sue him for defamation because in one of his tweets, he called her a "con job'. But that ruling pales against the tax ruling.
There are other criminal investigations against Trump, including one in Georgia for trying to get Georgia Secretary of State to change the vote count.
It is quite possible that Trump may be forced to leave his Mar-a-Lago residence for an extended stay at a Graybar Hotel.
