US Supreme Court says it will not speed up the process for getting President Trump's legal battle with House Democrats over the president's business records back into the lower courts.
Supreme Court decisions ordinarily do not take effect legally until 25 days after the rulings are issued, which in this case would be Aug. 3. Three House committees that sought Trump's taxes and other records told the Supreme Court that their investigations"are ongoing, remain urgent, and have been impeded by the lack of finality in these litigations, which were initiated in April 2019.
The court's brief orders do not state the reasons for its actions, but it’s likely the court was persuaded by Vance's argument that he needed to get back into court quickly because the grand jury could lose its ability to bring charges due to statutes of limitations.
