Thursday, 09 Jul 2020 10:53 PM MYTWASHINGTON, July 9 —The US Supreme Court today ruled that a New York prosecutor can obtain President Donald Trump’s financial records but prevented - at least for now - the Democratic-led House of Representatives from obtaining similar documents.
In both rulings, Roberts was joined by the court’s four liberals as well as Trump’s two conservative appointees to the court, Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. As part of a criminal investigation by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, subpoenas were issued to Mazars for financial records including nearly a decade of Trump’s tax returns to be turned over to a grand jury in New York City.
In the New York case, Trump’s lawyers argued that under the Constitution he is immune from any criminal proceeding while serving as president. They also cited Justice Department guidance that a sitting president cannot be indicted or prosecuted.
