A lawyer for President Donald Trump on Wednesday argued to a federal appeals court that a subpoena for information to Trump’s accountants — including a demand for his personal and corporate tax returns — issued by a grand jury at the behest of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is “an inappropriate fishing expedition.”
The lawyer, William Consovoy, under questioning by a three-judge panel at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, said, “We are objecting to the entire subpoena.”
