Trump tax returns: DA agrees to pause subpoena pending appeal
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said Tuesday it will not seek to enforce a subpoena for President Donald Trump 's income tax returns until the president's appeal of the subpoena is resolved.
The grand jury subpoena would compel accounting firm Mazars USA to turn over eight years of returns and other financial documents related to Trump and the Trump Organization.
Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr.'s office, in a letter Tuesday to the clerk of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, said the office understood that the appeals court's order from early September staying proceedings in the case to be an effective block on the subpoena for now, despite not explicitly saying so.
How Donald Trump's taxes compare to those of other U.S. presidents - The Washington Post
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter had a problem, according to presidential tax historian Joseph Thorndike . Carter's federal tax burden for 1976 had been zeroed out by a massive investment tax credit he earned for purchasing equipment and buildings related to his peanut farm.
Carter was upset, as he told The Washington Post at the time, because he had a "strong feeling" that wealthy people like him should pay at least some taxes. So he voluntarily paid the Treasury Department $6,000, the equivalent to 15 percent of his adjusted gross income and slightly more than the 14 percent paid by average taxpayers that year.

She also slammed Trump supporters like Rick Santorum for saying it's natural for rich people to "game the system."

There are thousands of words in the New York Times account of Donald Trump's taxes, and tens of thousands more will be published in the coming weeks.
