President Trump on Thursday derided New York City as a « hellhole » as he complained about a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the Manhattan district attorney’s subpoena to obtain his tax returns.
« This is purely political. I win at the federal level and we won very decisively and so they send it to New York, » Trump said of the pursuit of his financial records, which he has shielded from public view.
« You know what’s going on in New York, » he continued. « Everyone’s leaving. It’s turned out to be a hellhole, and they better do something about it because people are leaving New York. But this is a political witch hunt that just continues. »
The Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision on Thursday morning sided with New York state prosecutors seeking eight years of Trump’s financial documents, including his personal and corporate tax returns.
