The Supreme Court rebuffed an effort by Democrats in the House of Representatives to speed up the process by which they can continue to fight for President Donald Trump's financial records in lower courts.
The justices denied a request from attorneys for several Democratic-led congressional committees to finalize their ruling from earlier in the month that blocked the enforcement of subpoenas the committees had issued seeking financial information from the president's longtime accounting firm and banks.
The court rejected the Democrats' request in an unsigned order, with only Justice Sonia Sotomayor noting that she would have granted it.that the federal appeals courts in Washington and New York that upheld the Democrats' subpoenas did not properly address issues related to the Constitution's separation of powers. The Supreme Court permitted the committees to try again under a stricter standard, which they have said they intend to do.
While the court did not grant the request from House Democrats, it did grant a similar request made by Vance, and issued judgment in that case on Friday. Vance's office has said it is investigating potential violations of state law, but has provided few details.
