Why are they asking for the tax returns from Trump's accounting firm hughee99 Sep 2019 #21

NY would only have his New York State tax forms Massacure Sep 2019 #23

So issue the subpoena to the state agency and the IRS. hughee99 Sep 2019 #25

State courts can only subpoena entities within their jurisdiction. Massacure Sep 2019 #27

I don't believe that's accurate. hughee99 Sep 2019 #29

Completely disagree and besides that's merely my opinion of one reason they could be doing this. cstanleytech Sep 2019 #38
