The Department of Justice said in a court filing that it supports President Donald Trump’s suit looking for relief from a subpoena issued by Manhattan Attorney General Cyrus Vance over Trump’s tax returns.

Vance subpoenaed Trump’s accounting firm for eight years of Trump’s tax returns, prompting Trump to file a lawsuit against Vance. Trump’s legal team argued that Vance’s efforts were unconstitutional and sought temporary relief while the case was working its way through the courts.
