The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
President Trump appealed Judge Marreroâs decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which on November 6, 2019, issued an opinion affirming what the circuit court described as the district courtâs âthorough and thoughtful decision and order,â denying the injunction.10 With respect to Trumpâs claim of absolute presidential immunity as a bar to enforcement of the subpoena, the court of appeals ruled that âpresidential immunity does not bar the enforcement of a state grand jury subpoena directing a third party to produce non-privileged matter, even when the subject matter under investigation pertains to the President.â11
It was the courtâs judgment that in view of the âlong-settled proposition that the President is subject to judicial process in appropriate circumstances,â and the precedent of United States v. Nixon, Judge Marrero had not erred in denying Trumpâs requested injunction. The court noted particularly that the subpoena had sought non-privileged material from a third party that did not concern actions taken by Trump in an official capacity relating to his official duties, but rather related to his business as a private citizen. Thus, the court concluded, âWe find no support in the Nixon Courtâs conclusion ⦠for the proposition that a Presidentâs private and non-privileged documents may be absolutely shielded from judicial scrutiny.â As to the Nixon ruling, the court observed that âtellingly,â although along with his claim of executive privilege, Nixon had asserted a claim of presidential immunity as a bar to enforcement of the grand juryâs subpoena, as Trump had, the Supreme Court âfelt it unnecessary to devote extended discussionâ to the immunity argument, which in the courtâs view, âstrongly suggests that the President may not resist compliance with an otherwise valid subpoena for private non-privileged materials simply because he is President.â12
