[quote=Anonymous]DOJ intervening in this personal Trump lawsuit to hide his taxes.

NEW YORK—“The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan said Monday that the U.S. would participate in a lawsuit filed by President Trump that seeks to block a subpoena for eight years of his tax returns.

In a brief letter to the judge, U.S. Attorney for Manhattan Geoffrey Berman and Jeffrey Oestericher, chief of the office’s civil division, said the U.S. would file a submission in the case by Wednesday.

The letter comes in a dispute over a subpoena that the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. sent to accounting firm Mazars USA LLP requesting the president’s personal and business tax returns dating to 2011.

In an attempt to block the subpoena, Mr. Trump sued Mr. Vance and Mazars, arguing the request was unconstitutional and part of a campaign by Democrats to harass him.

Prosecutors in Mr. Vance’s office have said their subpoena is valid and any dispute should be heard in state court. Mazars has said it would follow its legal obligations.

Federal prosecutors haven’t spelled out their reasons for entering the case. Last week, on the evening before a court hearing in the case, the U.S. attorney’s office asked the judge to delay the subpoena’s enforcement while it weighed whether to intervene. “Plaintiff’s complaint raises a number of significant constitutional issues that potentially implicate the interests of the United States,” said the document.”
