纽约-总统唐纳德·特朗普美国律师周一做出最后努力，阻止一名纽约检察官获取他的税务记录，称这位民主党人仍在“寻找一种方法来证明他骚扰总统是正当的。”
律师们向一名联邦法官提交了书面文件，该法官去年拒绝放弃曼哈顿地区检察官赛勒斯·万斯在一次刑事调查中向特朗普的会计师发出的传票。
美国最高法院上月维持了美国地方法官维克托·马雷罗(Victor Marrero)的裁决，但高等法院将案件退回给他，称特朗普的律师有权像其他人一样质疑传票。
作为回应，总统通过他的律师辩称，传票是恶意发出的，可能是出于政治动机，相当于对总统的骚扰，尤其是因为其措辞模仿了国会传票中的语言。
万斯的律师表示，他们有权获得大量记录，以帮助进行“复杂的金融调查”，他们在文件中引用了“特朗普组织广泛而持久的犯罪行为”的公开报道
特朗普的律师周一表示，对追溯至2011年的税务记录的请求是一种报复，此前总统的公司特朗普组织(Trump Organization)对一张从2015年6月1日至2018年9月20日寻求记录的传票的范围提出质疑。
这一时间跨度与一项调查有关，该调查涉及向两名女性(包括一名色情女演员)行贿，目的是让她们在2016年总统竞选期间对特朗普涉嫌婚外情保持沉默。特朗普否认了此事。
特朗普的律师写道:“地方检察官的动议注定要失败。”
他们表示，万斯的律师在他们的辩词中加入了三篇新闻文章，暗示特朗普在金融方面的不端行为，“表明地方检察官仍在寻找一种方式来证明他骚扰总统是正当的。”
特朗普的律师告诉法官，传票是在对特朗普组织的传票是否要求出示纳税申报单产生分歧后送达总统的会计师的。
他们表示，传票“远远超出了调查范围”，要求所有与特朗普组织有关联的实体在近十年间在全国和世界各地提供所有财务记录、文件和通信。
特朗普的律师表示:“为了惩罚总统维护自己的权利，突然发出一份极其过分的传票，这份传票是从一份不相关的国会要求中抄来的，这就是恶意的定义。”
Trump lawyers make final pitch to block tax record release
NEW YORK -- PresidentDonald Trump’s lawyers made a final pitch Monday to block a New York prosecutor from getting his tax records, saying the Democrat was still “fishing for a way to justify his harassment of the President.”
The lawyers made their written submission to a federal judge who last year refused to throw out the subpoena Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance issued to Trump's accountant in a criminal probe.
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero's ruling was upheld last month by the U.S. Supreme Court, though the high court returned to the case to him, saying Trump's lawyers were entitled to challenge the subpoena in the same manner as anyone else.
The president responded by arguing through his attorneys that the subpoena was issued in bad faith, might have been politically motivated and amounted to harassment of the president, especially since the wording mimicked the language in congressional subpoenas.
Vance's attorneys said they were entitled to extensive records to aid a “complex financial investigation" and they cited in their papers public reports of “extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.”
Trump's lawyers said Monday that the request for tax records dating back to 2011 was retaliatory after the president's company, the Trump Organization, disputed the scope of a subpoena seeking records from June 1, 2015, through Sept 20, 2018.
That time span pertains to an investigation related to payoffs to two women, including a porn actress, to keep them quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign about alleged extramarital affairs with Trump. Trump has denied the affairs.
“The District Attorney’s motion is doomed," Trump's lawyers wrote.
They said the inclusion by Vance's lawyers in their arguments of three news articles suggesting financial misdeeds by Trump “shows that the District Attorney is still fishing for a way to justify his harassment of the President."
Trump's lawyers told the judge that the subpoena was served on the president's accountant only after a disagreement arose over whether the subpoena to the Trump Organization required the production of tax returns.
They said the subpoena “reaches far beyond the scope of the investigation" by asking for all financial records, documents, and communications from all entities associated with the Trump Organization across the nation and world over nearly a decade.
“Abruptly issuing a grossly overbroad subpoena, that was copied from an unrelated congressional demand, in order to punish the President for asserting his rights is the definition of bad faith," Trump's lawyers said.
