NEW YORK - US President Donald Trump on Monday insisted that a grand jury subpoena for his tax returns was overly broad and issued in bad faith and that as president he deserves extra protection from what he called harassment by Manhattan's district attorney.
Mr Trump has fought efforts by lawmakers and prosecutors to obtain his tax records, which should shed light on his financial dealings. He also defied decades of precedent as a presidential candidate by refusing to release tax returns. "The District Attorney naturally wants this case decided in one fell swoop," Mr Trump's lawyers wrote on Monday, but said the Supreme Court had cited rules against"fishing expeditions" and harassment that applied with"special force" to the president.
