The Second Circuit Court of Appeals will not issue a preliminary injunction that would have allowed President Donald Trump to keep his tax returns from a subpoena that was issued by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and his personal attorney said the matter will now rest in the hands of the Supreme Court.
“The decision of the Second Circuit will be taken to the Supreme Court. The issue raised in this case goes to the heart of our Republic. The constitutional issues are significant,” Jay Sekulow, counsel to the president, said in a statement to news outlets shortly after the Second Court rendered its decision.
