President Donald Trump late Thursday asked the right-wing Supreme Court to block the Manhattan district attorney's subpoena for his tax returns, arguing that he is "absolutely immune from all stages of state criminal process while in office."

The story... I'm sure the source will be attacked:

The meat and the potatoes of Trump's argument:

His defense is essentially the memo used to shield Spiro Agnew during the Nixon crap.
