美国最高法院驳回了前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)向曼哈顿地区检察官办公室隐瞒其税收的请求。
这一裁决为塞鲁斯·万斯地方法院强制执行大陪审团对记录的传票扫清了道路。
争论的焦点是特朗普公司是否人为地夸大了特朗普财产的价值，以获得尽可能好的贷款。调查人员还想知道该公司是否向税务机关展示了不同的价值。
还有关于向声称与特朗普有婚外情的女性支付封口费的问题，特朗普长期以来一直否认这一点。
之后最高法院驳回了特朗普的主张在去年的“绝对豁免”问题上，特朗普对传票提出了新的挑战，称其过于宽泛，而且是恶意发出的。两个较低的联邦法院驳回了这些新的要求，并下令遵守。
特朗普随后提出上诉向最高法院提出紧急申请十月...现在，四个月过去了，法官们投票否决了他要求暂缓执行下级法院判决的请求。
特朗普在裁决后的一份声明中说，“因此，两年多来，纽约市一直在关注我做过的几乎每一笔交易，包括寻求美国最大、最负盛名的法律和会计公司的纳税申报单。”
“最高法院不应该让这种“捕鱼探险”发生，但他们做到了，”声明说。
关于传票的执行，地方检察官办公室援引了一份事先提交的文件:“正如我们一直明确表示的那样，我们不认为您的客户的索赔有法律依据，我们预计最高法院在通报后将拒绝您的临时救济请求，届时我们的办公室将可以自由执行Mazars传票，无论您的客户是否决定继续寻求调取案卷令。”
曼哈顿地区检察官办公室预计将尽快获得这位前总统长达8年的大量税务信息。知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，对这些文件的审查预计将在几天内开始。
一位消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，特朗普的税收文件长达数百万页。
该办公室最近还邀请了前检察官马克·波美兰茨(Mark Pomerantz)仔细审查材料，并提交给大陪审团。
“工作仍在继续，”地方检察官办公室告诉美国广播公司新闻。
前总统的会计公司马扎尔斯在一份声明中告诉美国广播公司新闻，“我们知道最高法院的命令。正如我们在整个过程中所坚持的那样，马扎尔仍然致力于履行我们所有的专业和法律义务。由于我们行业的专业义务，未经客户同意或法律要求，Mazars不能在公共论坛上讨论任何客户或我们为任何客户提供的服务的性质。
Supreme Court rejects Trump attempt to shield taxes from Manhattan District Attorney's Office
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to shield his taxes from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
The ruling clears the way for DA Cyrus Vance to enforce a grand jury subpoena for the records.
At issue is whether the Trump Corporation artificially inflated the value of Trump's properties to get the best possible loans. Investigators also want to know whether the company presented different values to tax authorities.
There are also questions about hush payments to women who alleged affairs with Trump, which he has long denied.
After the Supreme Court threw out Trump's claim of "absolute immunity" last year, Trump brought a fresh challenge to the subpoena by arguing that it was overbroad and issued in bad faith. Two lower federal courts dismissed those new claims and ordered compliance.
Trump then filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court in October ... and now, four months later, the justices have voted to deny his request to stay the lower court decisions.
Trump said in a statement following the ruling, "So now, for more than two years, New York City has been looking at almost every transaction I’ve ever done, including seeking tax returns which were done by among the biggest and most prestigious law and accounting firms in the U.S."
"The Supreme Court never should have let this “fishing expedition” happen, but they did," the statement said.
With regard to enforcement of the subpoena, the DA’s office cited a prior filing: "As we have consistently made clear, we do not believe your client’s claims have merit, and we anticipate that the Supreme Court, after briefing, will deny your request for interim relief, at which point our office will be free to enforce the Mazars Subpoena, regardless of whether your client decides to continue to seek certiorari."
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office expects to take possession of 8 years' worth of the former president’s voluminous tax information as soon as possible. The scrutiny of the documents is expected to begin within days, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The Trump tax documents run into the millions of pages, a source told ABC News.
The office also recently brought on a former prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, to scrutinize the material and present to a grand jury.
"The work continues," the DA's office told ABC News.
Mazars, the former president's accounting firm, told ABC News in a statement, "We are aware of the Supreme Court’s order. As we have maintained throughout this process, Mazars remains committed to fulfilling all of our professional and legal obligations. Due to our industry’s professional obligations Mazars cannot discuss any clients, or the nature of our services we provide for any client, in a public forum without client consent or as required by law."
