The Supreme Court splits Trump's tax decisions by lisettevoytko
President Trump can be subpoenaed to provide his tax returns to the Manhattan District Attorney, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, but sent a similar request from House of Representatives committees back to the lower courts, bringing a partial end to two hotly-anticipated cases that Trump’s lawyers repeatedly appealed to keep his financial information private, and sets a precedent on the scope of the commander-in-chief’s power to block requests for the information.
The second decision involved several House committees that requested Trump’s financial records for investigations on hush-money payments and whether Trump overstated and understated his financial standing to reduce his tax burden and obtain loans.Thursday’s decisions were the last of the Supreme Court’s term, which extended past its expected June end date into July due to the coronavirus pandemic.
