Trump uncorks on tax probe: Part of 'greatest political Witch Hunt' in history

Former President Donald Trump on Monday said a years-long tax investigation by a Democratic district attorney is "a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our country."

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance can issue a subpoena to obtain Trump's tax records from the accounting firm that processed and filed them.

Trump likened the move to other battles waged by Democrats against him.

"For more than two years, New York City has been looking at almost every transaction I've every done, including seeking tax returns which were done by among the biggest and most prestigious law and accounting firms in the U.S.," Trump said in a statement.

Trump said that "Headhunting" prosecutors, "Who try to take down their political opponents using the law as a weapon," are a "Threat to the very foundation of our liberty."

The justices sent the case back to the lower court to allow Trump to focus his argument.

Trump's personal lawyers returned to the Supreme Court, arguing.
