Additionally, the appeals court stated, “the only question before us is whether a state may lawfully demand production by a third party of the President’s personal financial records for use in a grand jury investigation while the President is in office.”
“We hold that any presidential immunity from state criminal process does not bar the enforcement of a subpoena,” according to the judges in their decision.
In response to the decision of the appeal court, Jay Sekulow, the lawyer for Trump said they will appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
Sekulow said, “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.”
